About the role
Role Description
The Dropbox Sales and Channel team helps organisations transform how they work through technology. We partner with customers to understand their business challenges and develop solutions that deliver practical, measurable value.
As a Solutions Consultant, you’ll combine technical depth with commercial judgement to help customers evaluate and adopt Dropbox products. With our work on DBX Platform, this role places particular emphasis on hands-on API experience, integrations and technical solution design.

Working across Direct Sales and Channel, you’ll support the full sales cycle—from discovery and technical validation through to deployment planning and handover. You’ll help shape customer solutions, influence product development through customer feedback and deepen your expertise across Dropbox’s products and platform capabilities.
