About this role

Role Description Dropbox is hiring a Senior Partner Marketing Manager, AI & ISV Ecosystem to help define how Dropbox shows up in the next generation of AI-powered work. As AI and productivity platforms rapidly reshape how people create, access, and collaborate around content, this role will lead some of Dropbox’s most important ecosystem marketing opportunities. You will develop joint go-to-market strategies and high-impact programs with strategic technology partners—including OpenAI, Anthropic , and other leading AI and productivity platforms—while unlocking new growth opportunities across Dropbox’s broader integration ecosystem.

You will lead and develop a small team of partner marketers, operating as a true player-coach: setting direction, prioritizing the biggest opportunities, creating the conditions for your team to do their best work, and helping them grow as strategic marketers, while also contributing to hands-on execution. You will also serve as a senior marketing partner across Business Development, Partnerships, Product, Product Marketing, Sales, and Communications, turning technical integrations and partnership opportunities into compelling customer stories, differentiated value propositions, and integrated programs that drive adoption, awareness, pipeline, and growth.

This role owns partner-specific go-to-market strategy, joint positioning, integrated activation, evergreen co-marketing, and performance optimization for Dropbox’s priority AI and ISV relationships; partner selection, commercial agreements, product-roadmap decisions, sales execution, and partner-systems administration remain owned by the corresponding Business Development, Product, Sales, and Operations teams. This role is designed for a strategic builder, creative marketer, and people leader who thrives where technology, partnerships, and go-to-market intersect.

You will identify where Dropbox can create disproportionate value across the ecosystem, shape joint strategies with influential external partners, and lead complex initiatives from early opportunity through launch, activation, measurement, and scale. You will join Dropbox at a pivotal moment as AI changes how people interact with their content and where work gets done. This is an opportunity to help shape Dropbox’s position in the emerging AI ecosystem, work alongside some of the world’s most influential technology companies, build a high-impact team, and create the partner marketing models that will help define Dropbox’s next phase of growth.

AI is already embedded in this workflow. You will use approved AI tools to accelerate partner research, insight synthesis, campaign ideation, content development, launch planning, and performance analysis—and you will help build better AI-enabled workflows for the team while maintaining rigorous human judgment, review, and accountability. Responsibilities Set the strategy and build the roadmap : Closely partner with Business Development to define the partner strategy, and own Dropbox’s partner marketing strategy across priority AI and ISV partners, translate business and customer priorities into a clear portfolio of bets, and create the roadmap, prioritization criteria, and operating approach needed to execute against them.

Personally build and execute high-priority programs : Lead the most strategic and complex partner marketing initiatives from concept through launch and optimization, including developing joint value propositions, campaign briefs, go-to-market plans, content strategies, activation plans, and partner-facing deliverables—not simply directing the work from a distance. This manager personally leads programs that are highly ambiguous, executive-visible, or strategically consequential, while direct reports own defined partner programs end to end.

Create an evergreen co-marketing engine: Build repeatable programs that extend strategic partnerships beyond launch moments, including joint campaigns, customer stories, lifecycle activation, events, content, partner amplification, and other motions that drive sustained awareness, adoption, engagement, pipeline, and revenue objectives. Turn strategy into scalable operating mechanisms: Design and implement partner segmentation, reusable launch frameworks and templates, decision rights, operating cadences, measurement approaches, campaign governance, and joint investment planning that help the team move faster and scale successful programs across the ecosystem.

Lead partners and cross-functional execution: Build trusted relationships with strategic partners and work hands-on with Partnerships, Product, Sales, Marketing, and other stakeholders to resolve dependencies, navigate competing priorities, make tradeoffs, and drive complex programs to completion. Lead, coach, and work alongside the team: Manage and develop partner marketers while remaining close enough to the work to unblock execution, raise the quality bar, coach through difficult partner situations, model strong craft, and step directly into priority programs when senior-level ownership is needed.

Build AI-enabled ways of working: Use approved AI tools directly in partner research, synthesis, planning, content development, personalization, and analysis; identify and implement repeatable AI-enabled workflows for the team; and maintain clear human review and accountability for strategy, quality, partner commitments, and business outcomes. Requirement B2B marketing experience: 8+ years of B2B marketing experience, with significant experience in partner, ecosystem, platform, or strategic alliances marketing, with demonstrated ability to set strategy and then personally build the plans, programs, processes, and deliverables required to execute it.

Deep partner marketing craft: Demonstrated experience developing joint value propositions, go-to-market strategies, integrated campaigns, launch plans, and evergreen co-marketing programs with technology, SaaS, platform, AI, or ISV partners. Strong ex
