Black Ops Journalist
Office Team | San Francisco, CA
Dropbox is the home for your most important stuff—now we're bringing it to life with a growing family of products. As we scale our global brand, there’s plenty of space for you to grow alongside us and simplify life for millions of people around the world.
Every day, thousands of decisions pour into making Dropbox just work. Meanwhile, we've always known that understanding every moving part of Dropbox is key to helping us build great stuff. The new question is, how do you make sure that everyone at Dropbox keeps afloat of everything going on?
Dropbox's Black Ops team is looking for a journalist.
Black Ops is an unrestricted, self-guided team where any idea floats, and the best parts of Dropbox are brought together by marrying internal communication, design, and social engineering. Our work perpetuates Dropbox's mission and values, but our focus lies in celebration and service of the folks we work with every day...
...which brings us to journalism: you'll explore every corner of Dropbox to deeply understand both the internal and external workings of the company. You'll chase scoops and generate the input that feeds Dropbox's company broadcasts: all-company meetings, an internal news blog, and other avenues you've yet to invent. You'll tell stories of what, how, and why this place ticks.
Why's this a big deal? The more Dropboxers know about all of Dropbox's moving parts, the more context they'll take into their work — and the more context they take into their work, the better we'll make life for our users.
