This is a high-impact corporate finance role with direct exposure to senior leadership and company-wide decision-making. The role sits at the center of Dropbox’s corporate finance function, offering a unique, end-to-end view of the P&L and a cross-company perspective on how the business operates across revenue and expense.
Operating as a generalist, you will contribute to and help operationalize topline forecasting in close partnership with revenue finance leadership, support expense planning and consolidation, and synthesize trends across the company—translating business signals into decision-ready forecasts and insights for senior leadership.
You will partner closely with FP&A partner teams, Data Systems, and Data Science to improve how performance is modeled, interpreted, and communicated, with the goal of providing leadership with earlier visibility into trends, risks, and tradeoffs. This role focuses on connecting and interpreting signals across the full P&L, ensuring forecasts translate into clear, actionable insights for decision-making.
Over time, the role expands into deeper strategic exposure, with increasing influence on corporate planning, investment tradeoffs, and executive-level communication.
