L&D Program Manager

As an experienced L&D Program Manager at Dropbox, you will lead the strategy, planning, execution, and continuous improvement of high-impact learning programs across the employee lifecycle. This role is responsible for managing a portfolio of programs while ensuring they connect into a seamless, scalable learning experience. You’ll look across the portfolio, not just within individual programs, to identify gaps, reduce fragmentation, and improve how learning shows up for employees. You will manage and evolve multiple learning initiatives simultaneously—bringing strong systems thinking, learning operations expertise, and a learner-first mindset to your work.

You’ll ensure our learning technology ecosystem is not only integrated, but continuously evolving—leveraging new tools, platforms, and emerging capabilities (including AI and automation) to drive more personalized, scalable, and impactful learning experiences. You’ll play a key role in identifying opportunities for innovation, piloting new approaches, and translating them into sustainable solutions that enhance how learning is delivered and experienced at Dropbox. This role is ideal for someone who is highly operational, systems-minded, and motivated to make complex environments work simply.

In this highly cross-functional role, you’ll partner closely with Learning Designers, People Analytics, external vendors, and leaders across Dropbox to deliver scalable and insight-driven learning experiences.
