Principal, Market & Competitive Intelligence Manager

Role Description

As the Principal, Market & Competitive Intelligence Manager you will lead Dropbox’s enterprise competitive intelligence program across Dropbox Core, DocSend, Sign and Sign API, and Dropbox Protect.

Sitting within the Chief Business Officer’s organization, you will work close to the company’s most important strategic and go-to-market decisions. You will build the operating system that turns competitor activity, market developments, customer feedback, win/loss findings, and field signals into clear recommendations and action.

This is a highly visible, hands-on leadership role for a senior individual contributor. You will strengthen Dropbox’s competitive positioning, improve how our teams navigate competitive sales cycles, inform product and go-to-market choices, and deepen executive understanding of a rapidly changing market. Your work will span both sales-led and product-led motions and help Dropbox tell a sharper, more differentiated story.

You will partner closely with Sales, Product Marketing, Product, Research, Revenue Operations, Analyst Relations, and Communications. Success requires equal strength in strategic judgment and execution: identifying what matters, developing a defensible point of view, and delivering useful recommendations and tools at the speed of the business.
