Director of Product, Dropbox Dash
Passion Behind the Product
Cultivating Cross-Functional Collaboration
When asked about how the team successfully got the Dash product across the finish line, Marley Spector credits the team's cross-functional collaboration as the key to their success. "I collaborated with everyone from product, design, engineering, data science, research, support, marketing, legal, finance, sales and more. We would not have been able to build Dash for our users without tight collaboration. From the beginning, we ensured that the whole team really had an ownership mindset — no decision should take longer than five days to make," she said. "This wasn’t just our team; it was a full organization effort."

What I love about our cross-functional collaboration is being candid but not combative, critical but not cynical.

PASSION BEHIND THE PRODUCT
Creating Impact From Opportunity

CONTINUOUS LEARNING
Supporting Solutions
As the engineering manager for Dropbox’s international growth team, Damian Łukasik spends his days helping a team of engineers build solutions to serve the company’s customers outside of the United States and helping to grow the Poland engineering hub. While his role encompasses an array of responsibilities, Łukasik’s mission is clear across functions: to build a strong foundation for Dropbox’s international team to scale. And he knows exactly what will make that possible: a collaborative internal culture and a customer-centric approach to make the right choices as the team moves forward.

I give my team space to own products and solutions and then support them in making those solutions successful.

Additional Perks + Benefits

In order to be successful in our Virtual First environment we needed to make changes that would allow employees to have more control over both where and how they work. Therefore, we embrace “non-linear workdays” with defined core collaboration hours that overlap across time zones. Beyond that, we encourage employees to design their own schedules to balance collaboration with needs for individual focus. We’ve also moved from “all day syncs” to an “async by default” culture, reserving meetings for discussion, debate, and decision-making, and handling all other work in our deep focus hours.
