About The Position

We are seeking a Staff Product Manager to define and execute the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for Stacks and project context experiences within Dropbox. This role involves clarifying the relationship between various Dropbox features like folders, Stacks, Spaces, projects, and AI/chat experiences to create a cohesive user mental model. You will build intelligent project context experiences that integrate Dropbox content, third-party references, comments, tasks, activity, status, versions, and AI-generated summaries into trusted workspaces. Collaboration with Engineering, Design, Search, Connectors, Sharing, Platform, and AI teams is crucial for delivering scalable and intuitive user experiences. You will also define onboarding flows, naming systems, promotion paths, and interaction patterns to guide users on when and how to utilize Stacks. Establishing product quality bars, experimentation frameworks, learning goals, and success metrics for early design partner programs and broader rollout strategies will be key. Additionally, you will translate complex technical tradeoffs related to retrieval, permissions, freshness, connector reliability, and model behavior into clear product decisions that uphold user trust and simplicity.
