Life at Axon is fast‑paced, challenging and meaningful. Here, you'll take ownership and drive real change. Constantly grow as you work hard for a mission that matters at a company where you matter.

As a Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM) supporting Axon Cloud Security, you'll drive the execution of Axon's most critical security compliance programs, including GovRAMP, CJIS and related government certification and regulatory efforts. You will partner closely with Cloud Engineering, Product Security, and Compliance teams to deliver secure, compliant and reliable solutions that meet stringent market standards.

In this role, you will serve as the execution lead for security compliance initiatives—driving clarity amid ambiguity, building and managing complex project plans, coordinating cross‑functional engineering efforts, and ensuring audit readiness. You will help scale Axon's secure cloud infrastructure while maintaining a culture of operational excellence, trust and continuous improvement.

Location:

This role is based out of one of our offices (Atlanta, Boston, Scottsdale or Seattle) and follows a hybrid schedule. We rely on in‑person collaboration and ask that team members work onsite Tuesdays through Fridays, with the flexibility to work remotely on Mondays unless there is an approved workplace accommodation. We believe that connection fuels innovation and our in‑office culture is designed to foster meaningful teamwork, mentorship and shared success.
