Job description

A COO at Dropbox owns Cultural Awareness end to end, answers for it, and gets the credit too, all from Manhattan, KS. Few general roles let you own the whole thing end to end; this c-level one in Manhattan does, and it pays $221,000 - $464,000.

Key Responsibilities

• Hold the line on quality when deadlines start whispering shortcuts
• Onboard, mentor, and guide newer team members when called upon
• Keep Dropbox's Manhattan, KS site running while improvements ship underneath
• Support daily operations at our Manhattan site and keep workflows moving
• Keep showing up for the Manhattan, KS work after the launch buzz fades

What You'll Bring

• Comfort with a Dropbox pace that rarely sits still
• Flexibility to adapt your approach as business needs evolve
• Sharp written and verbal communication, tested under scrutiny
• A Manhattan grounding, or the adaptability to plant roots quickly
• The grit to debug at 4pm on a Friday without complaint
• Familiarity with Dropbox-scale workflows, or the appetite to reach them

Dropbox was founded on a hunch that general could be far less awful, and Manhattan turned out to be the perfect place to prove it. At Dropbox we hire people we can trust with real decisions and then give them the room to make them.

With $221,000 - $464,000 as the anchor, expect mentorship, a benefits package worth bragging about, and the latitude to work remote-first.

Live and listening, the hiring team reads new applications as they arrive.

Bring 17 of grit or a fresh perspective; either way, this COO role wants you.
