Role Description
As the Chief of Staff for our Core VP/GM, you will unlock the potential of our Core leadership team. You’ll get to work on a wide range of strategic and meaningful projects that have the potential for impact across the entire organization. Driving these projects will leverage your experience as a leader and push you to hone your analytical abilities, strategic intuition, and your people skills. As a trusted advisor to the VP/GM of Core, you’ll have daily exposure to the entire Core leadership team (engineering, product, design & data science) as well as cross-functional senior leaders across Dropbox, observing the business from a unique vantage point.
In this role, you are expected to be a self-starter and independent thinker with exceptional analytical and communication skills, capable of handling highly sensitive and confidential information while supporting a rapidly changing organization. You will excel in this role if you do not shy away from rolling up your sleeves and building creative solutions to problems that have not been tackled yet. You recognize where processes can be improved, and take the initiative to improve them, end-to-end.
You’re comfortable interacting across the organization at all levels, including senior leaders and executives across all functions at Dropbox. You’re a team player, and relish collaborating with colleagues across the org - understanding that the biggest problems at the global level can only be solved by cross-functional teams.
While you thrive in ambiguity, you’re highly organized, detail-oriented and are passionate about designing and implementing processes to keep everyone on track and grow a global business.
You’ll be working in a fast-paced environment with passionate team members who are focused on quality and execution. If you are a dynamic and detail-oriented individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and possesses a strong ability to bring order to chaos, then this is the role for you.
