- Drive cross-product initiatives, such as scaling passkey adoption, reducing password reset rates, and establishing secure recovery systems that cut across business units.
- Shape metrics and success frameworks that capture both user trust and security outcomes, and guide adoption across teams.
- Influence cross-functional partners in Security, Engineering, Research, and Design to create seamless, user-first account flows.
- Balance short-term execution with long-term foundations, ensuring today’s solutions pave the way for durable, scalable account systems.
- Elevate organizational alignment, communicating insights and progress to leadership, while ensuring multiple product areas move cohesively toward a shared vision.
- Define and evangelize a product vision for the account experience that influences beyond your immediate team.
- Lead a cross-functional working group, ensuring rapid iteration, validation, and alignment across multiple surfaces and products.
- Analyze user journeys and systemic data patterns across Dropbox’s portfolio to identify friction and unlock trust.
- Develop clear product requirements and success metrics, ensuring solutions scale beyond single features to portfolio-wide improvements.
- Manage risks and unblock multiple teams, making thoughtful trade-offs to ensure high-quality, timely outcomes.
- Partner across product areas to build account experiences that are consistent, reliable, and adaptable to emerging security standards.
- 8+ years of product management experience, with a track record of launching successful products and features.
- Proven ability to understand customer needs and translate them into products that solve real problems.
- Experience leading teams and working cross-functionally in a collaborative environment.
- Strong written and oral communication skills; able to manage up and ensure stakeholders are aligned.
- Analytical skills to interpret data, identify insights, and inform product direction.
- A scrappy mindset, moving the team forward despite resource constraints and finding lean ways to validate ideas.
- Comfort operating in ambiguous environments, with adaptability to shifting priorities.
- Strong influence and collaboration skills, creating clarity for the team and driving alignment in complex contexts.
- Experience shaping strategy within a product area, and leading projects that require coordination with other teams.
- Proven experience shaping strategy across multiple product areas with measurable business and customer impact.
- Familiarity with SaaS identity systems, account security, or trust & safety domains.
- Experience defining portfolio-wide measurement frameworks and success metrics.
- Strong product intuition paired with rigorous analytical skills, able to bridge user experience, security, and business outcomes.
