What you’ll do:

• Set multi-year strategy for authentication, MFA adoption, account recovery, and trust signals—aligning security imperatives with user experience.

• 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.

Responsibilities

• 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.

Requirements

• 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.

Preferred Qualifications

• 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.
