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.
Axon Product Specialists partner with Account Executives on Major & Top 1200 accounts, engaging the largest and most complex public safety agencies in the U.S. You’ll be the strategic technical voice in the room—leading deep discovery, shaping solution design, and guiding agencies through Axon’s RMS (Records Management System) ecosystem.
This role requires you to operate confidently in high-stakes environments, translate agency pain into actionable solutions, and influence both customer strategy and Axon’s product roadmap. You’ll own project scoping, SOW development, and help steer long-term product growth by surfacing insights from the field.
This is a quota-carrying role where creativity, grit, and clarity win. The RMS team feels like a startup—fast, scrappy, innovative—but with the muscle and support of a global public company.
