As a Sales Manager on the Growth team, you will play a critical role in leading Dropbox’s shift from a PLG-led motion to a hybrid PLG → SLG model. You will lead a team responsible for driving expansion across our install base, while also helping define how we sell newer products like Dash. This role requires a balance of leadership, execution, and problem-solving. You will be expected to drive results today while building the operating rigor and sales motion needed for tomorrow. This is not a “run the playbook” role. You will help install the standards, coaching, and discipline required to evolve how the team sells, engages customers, and closes complex, multi-product deals.

- Coach reps on value-based selling, focusing on customer problems, impact, and differentiation (experience with Command of the Message or other frameworks preferred)
- Drive transformation by refining ICP, messaging, and GTM for evolving products (e.g., Dash)
- Enable multi-product, platform-oriented selling across complex enterprise deals
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, Customer Success, Solutions teams and leverage partners to accelerate pipeline and influence GTM strategy
- 3–5+ years of sales leadership experience with an additional 6+ years of quota-carrying sales experience
- Proven track record of driving pipeline generation and closing complex, enterprise SaaS deals
- Deep experience with structured sales methodologies such as MEDDPICC, SPICED, or similar

- High accountability leader who sets and enforces clear standards
- Comfortable leading through ambiguity and driving change
- Strong executive presence with the ability to engage senior stakeholders internally and externally
- Strong command of Salesforce and modern sales tools (Gong, Outreach, Sales Navigator, etc.)
- Data-driven approach to forecasting, pipeline management, and performance tracking
- Experience in a transformation environment (PLG → SLG or similar)
