Senior Program Manager, Talent Acquisition Operations

As a Senior TA Operations Program Manager at Dropbox, you’ll lead high-impact initiatives that simplify, scale, and modernize the way we hire. Sitting at the intersection of systems, process, and experience, you’ll own the roadmap for TA operational excellence—working cross-functionally to automate workflows, improve hiring efficiency, and ensure alignment with our broader People tech ecosystem. You’ll apply robust strategic thinking, stakeholder savvy, and a bias for action to improve how we attract and hire top talent.

• Lead strategic modernization of our TA Operations roadmap, fostering simplification, consistency, and integration across systems to improve recruiter efficiency and candidate experience.
• Lead execution of major system upgrades aligned to the TA modernization roadmap.
• Manage all TA tools and vendors with a focus on improving adoption, tracking usage metrics, and ensuring ROI across the tech stack.
• Own projects end-to-end, from identifying ambiguous operational pain points to launching efficient, data-driven solutions that reduce manual overhead.
• Drive consistency and clarity across the hiring lifecycle, documenting best practices and enabling change management across teams.
• Partner cross-functionally with stakeholders across TA, Workforce Planning, People Tech, Legal, Privacy, and Finance to align systems and operational outcomes with company-wide priorities.

• Proficiency in leveraging design thinking methodologies to deeply understand employee needs, rapidly prototype experience solutions, and implement data-driven iteration cycles that measurably enhance engagement and retention.
• Demonstrate experience leveraging AI tools in the flow of work. Candidates with a pre-existing comfort level and familiarity using AI to enhance productivity are strongly preferred.
