Senior Account Executive

Role Description

As a Senior Account Executive, you will play a key role in helping customers achieve better business outcomes with Dropbox's full suite of products.

You'll build trusted relationships with both existing and prospective customers, develop a deep understanding of their priorities, and connect them with Dropbox solutions that improve how their teams organize, collaborate, share, and secure their work.

This role combines strategic account management with strong sales execution. You'll partner closely with customers and internal teams to develop account strategies, demonstrate the value of Dropbox's integrated product portfolio, and deliver solutions that support customers' evolving needs.

This is an opportunity to help customers get more value from Dropbox while directly contributing to the company's growth and long-term customer relationships.

• Forecast accurately and manage pipeline to consistently meet or exceed revenue targets
• Lead strong discovery to uncover customer challenges, priorities, and desired outcomes
• Apply structured qualification and value-selling frameworks (e.g., MEDDICC, SPICED) to advance deals

• High ownership mentality - you take initiative and move things forward without waiting for direction
• Thrive in ambiguity and are comfortable operating without a fully defined playbook
• Curious and business-oriented, with the ability to connect customer problems to solutions
• Resourceful and adaptable - you figure things out and adjust quickly
• Strong collaborator who contributes positively to team culture
• Experience using Salesforce or similar CRM tools to manage pipeline and forecast
