  • Collaborate with People Analytics and TA Operations to deliver predictive analytics, dashboards, and talent intelligence insights.
  • Conduct external benchmarking and refresh workforce metrics to support HRBPs and business leaders in planning discussions.
  • Support annual company-wide workforce planning processes, ensuring alignment with Strategic and Financial Planning.
  • Contribute to HR technology roadmap initiatives, including requirements, testing, and implementation of WFP tools (e.g., Workday, skills mapping, talent intelligence platforms).
  • Drive long-term strategic workforce planning projects, building Dropbox’s capability for long-range talent planning, resource allocation, and org design.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of experience in Workforce Planning, Analytics, or Consulting within a global corporate environment.
  • Proven ability to design dashboards, models, and data visualizations that translate insights into actionable recommendations.
  • Strong collaboration skills with demonstrated success partnering across Finance, Recruiting, HRBPs, and other cross-functional teams.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with experience presenting analysis and recommendations to leadership.
  • Demonstrated agility in managing shifting priorities, ambiguity, and fast-paced business demands.
  • Advanced technical expertise with Workday data/reporting, Excel or Tableau, and HR technology platforms and SQL. 
  • Hands-on experience implementing or refining Position Management and (ideally) skills-based workforce models.
  • Project Management: Lead cross-team and/or multi-phase projects from design through implementation, leveraging product management principles (roadmapping, user journeys, feature prioritization) and design thinking (prototype planning solutions, and iterate based on data) to improve adoption and impact
  • Experience leveraging AI tools to automate workflows, enhance workforce data analysis, and deliver insights in the flow of work; strong comfort with using AI to improve planning efficiency and decision-making.

Voluntary Self-Identification

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

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.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

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.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

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.
