Senior Product Marketing Operations Manager in Gorleston-on-Sea

Dropbox is bringing together Product Marketing across a multi-product portfolio and strengthening the foundations that connect product strategy to market execution. As Senior Manager, Product Marketing Operations, you will be a senior individual contributor who builds and runs the operating systems that help Product Marketing work with greater clarity, consistency, and impact.

Your initial mandate will span four connected areas:

• The lifecycle for foundational messaging and positioning assets;
• Portfolio and roadmap visibility;
• PMM-side launch strategy and governance;
• The planning rhythms and cross-functional interlocks that connect PMM with Solutions Marketing, Integrated Marketing, Product, Communications, Sales, Customer Success, Enablement, and program management partners.

This role offers broad visibility across Dropbox’s product and go-to-market priorities and the opportunity to shape how a growing PMM organization operates at a strategic level. Your impact will be reflected not only in stronger processes but in whether PMM is engaged at the right decision points, cross-functional teams are aligned on the priorities and tradeoffs that matter, and the organization can move from strategy to market with greater clarity and accountability.

Responsibilities

• Build, operate, and continuously improve the Product Marketing operating model across team planning, portfolio and roadmap visibility, foundational content systems, launch governance, and cross-functional accountability.
• Establish the lifecycle for messaging, positioning, and related PMM foundations, including templates, inventories, accountable owners, review and sign-off, refresh cadences, quality standards, and a discoverable source of truth.
• Create and maintain a consolidated product roadmap that connects product direction to customer-facing roadmap inputs, release and launch planning, campaign and communications needs, sales and channel enablement, and other downstream go-to-market dependencies.
• Own the PMM-side launch strategy and governance system, including intake, launch classification and tiering recommendations, required strategic inputs, PMM readiness criteria, decision forums, escalation paths, handoff to marketing partners, and post-launch learning.
• Partner with PMM, Solutions Marketing, Integrated Marketing, Product, Communications, Sales, Customer Success, Enablement, and program-management teams to codify roles, decision rights, required inputs, and handoffs, then steward adoption and surface gaps or exceptions for leadership resolution.
• Build scalable templates, reporting, knowledge systems, and responsible AI- or automation-enabled workflows; establish measures of adoption and effectiveness; and simplify or retire processes that do not create sufficient value.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in product marketing, product marketing operations, marketing operations, product operations, go-to-market operations, or a closely related discipline, including ownership of complex cross-functional programs in a technology or digital-product environment.
• Demonstrated experience designing and leading launch or commercialization operating models across multiple products, teams, or audiences, including tiering, readiness, milestones, dependencies, risk management, and post-launch learning.
• Working knowledge of Product Marketing fundamentals, including positioning, messaging, audiences, go-to-market planning, launch strategy, and the lifecycle of customer- and seller-facing assets; sufficient judgment to distinguish a workflow gap from an unresolved strategy or quality issue.
• Track record of influencing senior stakeholders without direct authority, clarifying decision rights, resolving competing priorities, and sustaining behaviour or process change across functions.
• Experience building a new operating capability or materially redesigning an existing one, with the judgment to identify a small number of high-priority changes and the ability to execute them hands-on.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience synthesising complex inputs into concise recommendations, decision materials, operating plans, and executive updates.
• Experience using data, retrospectives, and responsible AI or automation practices to improve recurring workflows, with clear human review, risk awareness, and accountability for final decisions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building or materially redesigning a Product Marketing, Marketing, Product, or GTM operating capability from an early stage or following an organisational integration.
• Experience in a multi-product, multi-audience, product-led and/or sales-assisted SaaS business.
• Experience establishing messaging and positioning governance, content lifecycle management, knowledge-management systems, or reusable product and solution playbooks.
• Experience supporting complex launches, migrations, deprecations, packaging or pricing changes, APIs, or other customer-impacting product transitions.

Durable Skills

• AI fluency means using these tools to amplify human judgment, not replace it. We believe people with these skills will thrive as work and technology continue to evolve:
• Awareness: Understand yourself and others.
• Judgment: Evaluate information and make decisions in complex situations.
• Adaptability: Learn, adjust, and stay effective through change.
• Connection: Communicate, collaborate, and build trust.
