About the role

Role Description

As a Senior Account Executive, you will play a key role in helping customers achieve better business outcomes with Dropbox’s full suite of products.

You’ll build trusted relationships with both existing and prospective customers, develop a deep understanding of their priorities, and connect them with Dropbox solutions that improve how their teams organize, collaborate, share, and secure their work.

This role combines strategic account management with strong sales execution. You’ll partner closely with customers and internal teams to develop account strategies, demonstrate the value of Dropbox’s integrated product portfolio, and deliver solutions that support customers’ evolving needs.

This is an opportunity to help customers get more value from Dropbox while directly contributing to the company’s growth and long-term customer relationships.
