Requirements
- At least 3+ years of professional experience leading or managing a design team
- A portfolio of relevant design work, executed either by yourself or a team that you led, that conveys an ability to ship successful products that customers love
- A customer-centered approach to designing products for people
- A hands-on, self starter leader, with high ownership, who can think big, but also dive-deep and straddle both altitudes while connecting the dots
- Deep experience working with product managers, engineering, and marketing to drive vision, strategy and execution
- Comfortable juggling a wide range of responsibilities at the same time
- Success leading the thoughtful integration of generative design tools, LLMs, and computational design methodologies into creative workflows while preserving team autonomy and elevating overall design quality
Responsibilities

- Work closely with design leadership to ensure a cohesive customer experience across all products
- Create a team of best-in-class designers who obsess over customers and move fast in a highly ambiguous environment
- Craft and communicate a compelling long-term design strategy and vision
- Lead the team in balancing urgency vs. the incredibly high quality bar expected by both our customers and the broader Dropbox organization
- Foster a healthy and collaborative culture that embodies Dropbox's values and continue to develop Dropbox as one of the best places to work
Other
- A collaborative, low-ego approach to working with others
- Experience with both scaled SaaS products, and pre-PMF or 0→1 efforts
- Shape not just our products, but our people and the way we design and build.
- Shape the vision and execution of our most critical product value
- Ensuring every interaction our customers have is met with an “it just works” experience.
