This leader will shape the vision and execution of our most critical product value, from core features to future collaboration workflows. This role will be responsible for ensuring every interaction our customers have is met with an “it just works” experience. This role will also be critical in contributing to our world-class design discipline, guiding talented designers, focused on high levels of craft and quality across Dropbox. You’ll work closely with leaders across the business and shape not just our products, but our people and the way we design and build.

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 
Foster a healthy and collaborative culture that embodies Dropbox's values and continue to develop Dropbox as one of the best places to work

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
A collaborative, low-ego approach to working with others

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with both scaled SaaS products, and pre-PMF or 0→1 efforts
