Dropbox: Director, Finance Systems

Role Description

At Dropbox, we’re modernizing our Finance technology stack to deliver scalable, automated, and insight-driven operations. We’re looking for a Director of Finance Systems to lead this transformation and ensure our core platforms — including Oracle ERP, EPM, OAC, and integrated tools — provide a reliable foundation for Accounting, FP&A, Treasury, and Tax.

In this role, you’ll define the long-term Finance Systems roadmap and lead the execution of high-quality, predictable system improvements. You’ll serve as the primary connection between Finance, Engineering, Salesforce, and Integration teams, ensuring clear priorities, strong communication, and alignment across functions.

You’ll also own the control environment for Finance systems, ensuring SOX compliance, secure access, and disciplined change management. We’re looking for a strategic thinker who can zoom out to architect scalable solutions, while staying close enough to the details to ensure delivery excellence and operational reliability.

• Deep hands-on expertise with Oracle Fusion Financials and related modules (Procurement, EPM, OAC), including configuration, integrations, and process design.
• Strong understanding of core Finance processes — accounting, FP&A, procurement, and quote-to-cash — and how they translate into scalable system architecture.
• Proven track record leading cross-functional programs and delivering reliable, high-quality systems execution in an enterprise environment.
• Experience with SOX controls, audit processes, and designing secure, compliant system environments.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; able to translate complex technical topics for Finance leaders and align diverse teams.
