At Axon, we’re on a mission to Protect Life. We’re explorers, pursuing society’s most critical safety and justice issues with our ecosystem of devices and cloud software. Like our products, we work better together. We connect with candor and care, seeking out diverse perspectives from our customers, communities and each other.
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.

Your Impact

This isn't a relationship management role—it's an ownership role.
In this embedded, agency-facing role, you will serve as the primary owner of customer outcomes within a strategic account, supporting the end-to-end lifecycle of Axon's ecosystem. You will combine deep technical expertise, operational leadership, and customer engagement to help agencies transform how they operate, adopt new technologies, and achieve measurable mission outcomes.
Acting as a trusted advisor and onsite partner, you will bring together deployment, technical execution, workflow optimization, AI-enabled capabilities, adoption, and executive engagement into a cohesive customer experience. You will help agencies realize value from their investment while creating feedback loops that influence product strategy, operational best practices, and future platform capabilities.
The result: measurable customer outcomes, stronger partnerships, accelerated adoption, and continuous learning that improves both customer success and Axon's products.

  • Support Sales → Post-Sales onboarding and handoff, helping establish goals, success criteria, and accountability from day one
Embedded Engagement
  • Maintain a consistent onsite presence (approximately 4 days/week) to stay closely connected to agency operations and evolving needs
What You Bring
