Role Description

The Dropbox Writing Studio is looking for an accomplished copywriter, editor, and story strategist to shape and strengthen the Dropbox voice within our high-impact marketing initiatives.

The role sits on the newly centralized Writing Studio sub-team within Comms and Brand, which is responsible for the quality, consistency, and excellence of brand messaging across the company. This person will play a key role in how Dropbox shows up in the world for our customers by writing and editing campaign messaging, landing page copy, emails, long-form stories, product updates, and other highly visible marketing assets.

They’ll collaborate closely with leaders and teams across the company—including Integrated Marketing, Brand Marketing, Sales, Communications, PMM, Engineering, and Legal—to ensure content is as clear, engaging, and brand-aligned as possible.

Responsibilities

  • Write highly visible and impactful marketing content across the customer pipeline
  • Edit content drafts, including campaign messaging, emails, customer stories, and other prominent marketing assets
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to shape project strategy, align on timelines, and set the foundation before writing begins
  • Solicit feedback and obtain approvals from stakeholders (including senior leaders) across the company
  • Navigate stakeholder feedback while prioritizing writing excellence and our brand voice

Requirements

  • 6+ years of experience in either copywriting, editorial content, or journalism, with a minimum of 2 years at a tech company
  • A proven track record of writing excellent content; you have a stellar portfolio of engaging and diverse content, including campaign messaging, web page copy, emails, narrative stories, and more
  • Superb communication skills and a collaborative spirit; you know how to solicit and reconcile feedback from a wide range of stakeholders, and you can work across teams to develop content that elevates our brand
  • Organized and process-oriented, you know how to stick to deadlines but can also be flexible when plans change
  • Demonstrated passion for writing on every dimension: voice, style, rhythm, structure, language economy, and grammatical precision
  • A curiosity for technology and how it impacts the way we live, communicate, and work

Preferred Qualifications

  • You’ve worked as both a writer and an editor in your career
  • You’ve written marketing copy in a fast-paced agency setting, servicing a variety of internal and external stakeholders
  • You bring a healthy mix of brand copywriting, tech marketing, and journalism experience; we’re looking for someone who’s experienced all of these areas, not specialized in only one
  • Writing has been at the heart of your career. This is a role for a highly skilled storyteller, so we aren’t looking for a content strategist whose primary focus has been governance, distribution, SEO, or other areas of content strategy that are less copy-oriented.

As set forth in Dropbox’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
