Role Description
As an Account Executive on the Growth team, you will play a key role in helping Dropbox evolve how we go to market as we expand into newer products like Dash.
This role goes beyond traditional account expansion. You’ll be responsible for building and scaling how we sell across new use cases and buying centers within our install base and with net new customers. You’ll work through ambiguity to identify what resonates with customers, what drives real outcomes, and how we can create repeatable success.
You will operate at the intersection of execution and problem-solving, closing business while helping shape our sales motion, messaging, and approach.
This is an opportunity to have a direct impact on how Dropbox grows its next generation of products, with high visibility across GTM leadership.
Responsibilities
- Own the full sales cycle from pipeline generation through close and renewal within your territory
- Build pipeline from scratch by prospecting into new teams, departments, and executive stakeholders
- Expand beyond existing motions to uncover new use cases and opportunities
- Consistently generate pipeline through outbound efforts, account mapping, events, and partner collaboration
- Forecast accurately and manage pipeline to consistently meet or exceed revenue targets
- Lead strong discovery to uncover customer challenges, priorities, and desired outcomes
- Apply structured qualification and value-selling frameworks (e.g., MEDDICC, SPICED) to advance deals
- Clearly articulate business impact and position Dropbox solutions around outcomes, not features
- Drive deal momentum by building urgency, aligning stakeholders, and establishing clear next steps
- Contribute to evolving GTM strategy by refining ICP, messaging, and use cases (e.g., Dash)
- Collaborate cross-functionally and bring insights from the field to influence Product and GTM
Requirements
- 6+ years of B2B SaaS sales experience, ideally in early-stage, new product, or evolving GTM environments.
- Proven ability to generate pipeline, manage complex deals, and close business in ambiguous or developing markets.
- Experience selling to mid-market and enterprise customers, including executive stakeholders.
- Strong qualification and value-selling discipline, using frameworks such as MEDDICC, SPICED, Command of the Message, or similar.
- Consistent track record of meeting or exceeding sales targets.
- High-ownership, resourceful, and adaptable mindset; comfortable taking initiative and thriving without a fully defined playbook.
- Strong collaborator with excellent organizational skills, CRM experience such as Salesforce, and the ability to manage pipeline and forecast effectively.

Virtual First
Dropbox’s Virtual First way of working is designed to help people do their best work with flexibility, autonomy, and connection. Day to day, teams work remotely with nonlinear schedules and core collaboration hours that support deep focus and individual working styles. We prioritize asynchronous communication to improve clarity, respect deep work time, and reduce unnecessary meetings. While remote work is the primary experience for our employees, we also prioritize intentional, in-person connection. We bring teams together through regular team gatherings, on-demand workspaces, and Dropbox Neighborhood events in order to strengthen team cohesion, foster creativity, and enhance momentum. Virtual First is built to provide the same access to opportunity, growth, and impact for everyone, regardless of location.
This role requires travel to offsites and various other team gatherings (approximately 5-10% of the year or 2-3 days per quarter). We provide advance notice when possible and encourage candidates to discuss any accommodation needs during the interview process.

AI fluency is a core part of how we work and grow. It’s not about being an expert—it’s about using these tools thoughtfully and effectively to improve your work and support others.
We Look For Four Key Behaviors In Candidates
- Ownership: You use AI responsibly by protecting data, applying sound judgment, and taking accountability for the quality and accuracy of your work.
- Experimentation: You explore new AI capabilities and apply them to improve workflows within approved tools and practices.
- Leverage: You use AI to enhance thinking, improve efficiency, and increase your impact and your team’s.

Together, these behaviors help build a workforce where technology amplifies human judgment, creativity, and impact.
Dropbox supports responsible use of AI for preparation, but misrepresentation of skills or experience is not permitted. To learn more, see our approach to AI in hiring.
