Role Description

Dropbox’s Procurement team is seeking a Strategic Sourcing Lead to own and drive the execution of category strategies across our Indirect spend portfolio, with a primary focus on GTM categories. This role is instrumental in shaping how Dropbox manages strategic supplier relationships, unlocks value, and mitigates risk across these critical business functions.

As a Business Athlete, the ideal candidate is versatile—able to dive into data, lead executive-level discussions, and creatively solve problems at any point in the sourcing lifecycle. You thrive in ambiguity, synthesize input across disciplines, and bring clarity to complex decisions.

This role reports into the CFO Organization and demands a balance of strategic thinking, digital fluency, emotional intelligence, and advanced communication skills to influence outcomes and deliver value across Dropbox.

Stakeholder Partnership: Cultivate high-trust relationships across the business especially with senior leaders; identify business needs and deliver solutions that exceed expectations.

Strategic Planning: Lead cross-functional planning to build long-term roadmaps, align on strategic direction with stakeholders, and creatively identify opportunities for cost optimization, innovation, and risk mitigation.

Negotiation & Execution: Drive complex commercial negotiations with a balance of rigor and EQ to land win-win outcomes. Ensure financial and contractual terms support both immediate and long-term business goals.

Supplier Performance & Risk: Oversee supplier relationships, ensuring accountability, performance, and compliance. Break down large challenges into clear next steps.

Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with legal, finance, compliance, and other internal teams to ensure sourcing strategies are holistic and well-governed.

Savings Delivery: Own and track financial performance and value delivery across categories. Translate sourcing activity into clear, measurable impact on Dropbox’s bottom line.

Digital & Analytical Fluency: Leverage e-sourcing tools, end to end purchasing systems, ROI models and AI to inform strategy and storytelling. Bring digital innovation into the sourcing lifecycle.

Market Intelligence: Monitor market trends, emerging risks, and supplier innovations to proactively inform sourcing strategy.

Communication & Presentation: Deliver crisp, compelling presentations to multiple audiences—executives, cross-functional teams, and suppliers. Translate complexity into insight.

Leadership & Enablement: Serve as a sourcing thought leader within Dropbox, mentoring others and fostering a culture of high performance and accountability.
