People PMO Project Manager

Company Description

Dropbox is a special place where we are all seeking to fulfill our mission to design a more enlightened way of working. We’re looking for innovative talent to join us on our journey. The words shared by our founders at the start of Dropbox still ring true today.

Wouldn’t it be great if our working environment—and the tools we use—were designed with people’s actual needs in mind? Imagine if every minute at work were well spent—if we could focus and spend our time on the things that matter. This is possible, and Dropbox is connecting the dots.

The nearly 3,000 Dropboxers around the world have helped make Dropbox a living workspace - the place where people come together and their ideas come to life. Our 700+ million global users have been some of our best salespeople, and they have helped us acquire customers with incredible efficiency. As a result, we reached a billion dollar revenue run rate faster than any software-as-a-service company in history.

Dropbox is making the dream of a fulfilling and seamless work life a reality. We hope you’ll join us on the journey.

Team Description

The People team are ambassadors of enlightened work, delivering meaningful experiences that empower us all to do our best work.

Role Description
In this role, you will work closely with the People PMO and cross-functional teams across the People team and the business to drive key initiatives and affect change across the People team and Dropbox as a whole. Ideal candidates will be energized by working autonomously and with a level of ambiguity that often comes with the types of projects run through the People PMO

We are looking for someone with project management expertise and a consultative mindset in the People space with an aptitude to drive rigor, stay agile, and operate with a critical thinking lens. You will be creating plans for and executing on projects under a wide purview - from critical KTLO projects (e.g. designing and executing on People team offsites and All Hands) to strategic initiatives (e.g. project managing an M&A from a People team POV).

You must have the capacity to balance multiple priorities, thrive in ambiguity, leverage change management principles to influence internal partners, identify, articulate, and assess success metrics for the projects you manage, and possess excellent communication skills that can be tailored to cross-functional audiences at every level. Your key stakeholders will include our HR leadership team and leaders across our G&A function, so you must have demonstrated success of operating independently with senior audiences.

This is a senior project manager role, and the ideal candidate has deep expertise in project management with breadth in other skills - data analysis, communications, presenting insights, and facilitating complex, cross-functional meetings - and the ability to flex into these areas based on project need. Deep expertise in one or more areas of HR would also be an asset to this role. We are looking for someone with the demonstrated ability to pick up and apply new information quickly about new HR spaces and create playbooks with key learnings to apply to future projects.

Advise senior-level stakeholders across the People team and key cross-functional teams on project direction, mitigating risk, and problem solving
Prepare presentations and dashboards as needed for executive-level audiences

Requirements

8+ years experience in a human resources, management consulting, strategy, or operations role
Excellent project management skills with a proactive, consultative, and agile mindset
