Role Description
As the Director of Marketing Strategy , you will serve as the chief operating partner and strategic advisor to the Chief Marketing Officer at Dropbox. In this dual-engine role, you will be responsible for both shaping our strategic growth initiatives
(business case development, B2B/B2C partnership evaluation, new GTM strategies) and managing our operational infrastructure
(annual planning, capital allocation, and budget governance).
The ideal candidate has the structured, first-principles thinking of a management consultant and the operational discipline to build and run processes that turn strategies into reality.
Responsibilities
- Strategic Initiatives & Growth Partnerships
Hypothesis-Driven Problem Solving: Frame and analyze highly ambiguous strategic questions
(e.g.,
“Should we pursue a new ICP for a new product?” or
“How do we optimize acquisition across dual B2B and B2C funnels?” ).
Business Case Formulation: Build quantitative models
(market sizing, NPV, LTV/CAC) to justify major marketing investments, new channel entries, or partnership models to the executive team.
Partnership Structuring: Partner with Business Development teams to commercially evaluate and structure complex, high-value brand and ecosystem alliances.
Special Projects: Lead agile, cross-functional
"tiger teams" to rapidly prototype and pilot new commercial initiatives before transitioning them to long-term operational owners.
- Marketing Operations, Planning & Budget Governance
Strategic & Financial Planning:
In partnership with marketing ops, l ead the annual and quarterly integrated planning cycle for the marketing organization, translating corporate growth targets into marketing plans and measurable OKRs.
Capital Allocation & Budget Control:
Work with RevOps to o versee the global marketing budget in close partnership with Finance. Manage the
"top-down" allocation of capital across regions/channels and establish
"bottom-up" accountability to ensure maximum Return on Investment.
Measurement & Reporting: Establish the core executive metrics framework to report on marketing performance, pipeline health, and efficiency to the C-suite and Board of Directors.
Requirements
Top-Tier Consulting Pedigree: 8–10+ years of professional experience, including a foundational stint at a top-tier management consulting firm
