As Senior Manager, Product Marketing Operations, you will be a senior individual contributor who builds and runs the operating systems that help Product Marketing work with greater clarity, consistency, and impact Your initial mandate will span four connected areas: the lifecycle for foundational messaging and positioning assets; portfolio and roadmap visibility; PMM-side launch strategy and governance; and the planning rhythms and cross-functional interlocks that connect PMM with Solutions Marketing, Integrated Marketing, Product, Communications, Sales, Customer Success, Enablement, and program management partners - clarify decision rights and handoffs; surface dependencies, risks, and tradeoffs; and establish reusable standards, templates, and operating cadences that strengthen focus and accountability. Over time, you will create a foundation that allows PMM Operations to scale as the organization’s needs evolve This role offers broad visibility across Dropbox’s product and go-to-market priorities and the opportunity to shape how a growing PMM organization operates at a strategic level. Your impact will be reflected not only in stronger processes, but in whether PMM is engaged at the right decision points, cross-functional teams are aligned on the priorities and tradeoffs that matter, and the organization can move from strategy to market with greater clarity and accountability.
