Director of Pricing and Packaging

Role Description

As Director of Pricing and Packaging at Dropbox, you will lead the strategy that determines how we package, price, and monetize our products across product-led growth (PLG) and sales-led growth (SLG) motions. Reporting to Head of Product Marketing, you will lead a small team and partner closely with Product, Finance, Sales, Marketing, Data Science, and senior executives to make pricing and packaging a durable driver of customer value and profitable growth.

This is a highly visible opportunity to help reinvent Dropbox’s monetization approach as we expand our sales-led business and build for the AI era. You will develop a holistic pricing and packaging architecture across products, customer segments, and routes to market—balancing customer adoption, competitive positioning, revenue growth, cost to serve, and margin. You will translate complex analysis into clear strategic choices, build alignment among senior leaders, and establish the capabilities and operating rhythms needed to make consistently strong monetization decisions.

You will have significant exposure to Dropbox’s senior leadership team and the opportunity to shape some of the company’s most consequential growth decisions. Your work will directly influence how customers experience and value Dropbox, how our products go to market, and how the business grows over the long term.

Partner with Product, Finance, Sales, Marketing, Data Science, and Operations leaders to translate strategy into executable plans, including research, experimentation, rollout, enablement, measurement, and iteration.

Advise senior executives on high-impact monetization decisions by synthesizing complex quantitative and qualitative evidence into clear recommendations, tradeoffs, and decision frameworks.

Establish pricing and packaging governance, operating rhythms, performance metrics, and experimentation practices that improve the quality and speed of decision-making across Dropbox.

Lead, develop, and inspire a small team of pricing and packaging professionals while expanding the organization’s broader monetization capabilities.
