Dropbox hiring: Data Analytics Partner, People Analytics (remote, US)

Dropbox is recruiting a Data Analytics Partner on its People Analytics team to support Talent Acquisition and broader people leaders. The team's mandate is to help leaders make better, data-informed decisions about how the company finds, develops, and retains talent. This role focuses on the hiring lifecycle—understanding what leads to successful hires, where processes slow, and how hiring outcomes can be improved across efficiency, quality, and equity dimensions.

The job centers on partnering deeply with Talent Acquisition, People Partners, and business stakeholders. Work includes:

• Analyzing hiring and recruiting data to uncover trends and surface insights that influence workforce planning and recruiting strategy.
• Working with both quantitative and qualitative inputs to identify drivers of successful hiring outcomes and locate bottlenecks in the hiring process.
• Delivering analyses that translate ambiguous or open-ended business questions into structured, actionable studies.
• Communicating findings in clear ways that lead to decisions and follow-up actions.

The listing stresses practical analytics skills and business thinking. The team looks for candidates who can:

• Think analytically about business problems and turn high-level or vague questions into concrete analyses.
• Maintain strong attention to detail and high standards for data quality.
• Produce work that influences decisions—clear, actionable results rather than purely descriptive reports.

Why this role matters inside Dropbox

As Dropbox scales its Talent Acquisition strategy, the company needs analytics to move beyond anecdote and gut feel when hiring at volume or across geographies. The People Analytics team's work is intended to inform workforce planning and recruiting strategy, helping leaders allocate recruiting resources, streamline candidate experience, and surface equity issues in hiring outcomes. The role is oriented toward shaping how Dropbox hires by connecting data to concrete actions.
