Distribution Business Development - Telco Partnerships

Dropbox is looking for a senior leader to drive the creation of a new telco distribution channel for Dropbox, end-to-end. We believe there's a $100M+ opportunity in having Dropbox services resold, bundled, and/or otherwise distributed via telcos. We want you to develop the strategy, pitch it to leading telcos, stand the initial partnerships up, and prove out this hypothesis, so we can make the appropriate investments to grow it to become the nine-figure opportunity it deserves to be.

You should know the space really well, have a rolodex of contacts you can call on, and most importantly, have the 0-to-1 mentality and drive to make something happen where it didn't already exist. You've got to have strategic vision and then the gusto, salesperson-ship, persistence, and grit to make it a reality. We're looking for someone who knows how to make magic happen.

We already have most of the distribution APIs you'd need to do this. You'll also already have a senior-level operations manager to help you stand the initial partnerships up, and we've got a product suite that should be very attractive to telcos. Specifically, while you likely only think of Dropbox as File, Sync, and Share (FSS), we have expanded into a robust suite of tools that are extremely attractive to our large consumer, prosumer, and SMB customer base, including: e-Signature, Backup and Restore, Password Management, Screen Recording, Large File Delivery, Universal Search, and so much more!

We provide a very competitive comp and benefits package and are a virtual-first company, meaning you get to work from anywhere. If you can deliver on the above objectives, we can compensate you well and provide an excellent lifestyle.
