Über diese Senior Technical Program Manager II - Cloud Trust & Security Stelle bei Axon
Join Axon and be a Force for Good.
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
As a Technical Program Manager (TPM) supporting Axon Cloud Trust & Security, you’ll drive the internal execution of Axon’s most critical security compliance and government authorization initiatives (e.g., FedRAMP, GovRAMP, CJIS, FIPS, and related regulatory efforts). You’ll partner closely with Cloud Engineering, Infrastructure, Product Security, and Compliance to translate requirements into engineering-ready work, accelerate delivery of control implementations and remediations, and scale audit readiness through automation.
This is a builder role: you’ll bring clarity amid ambiguity, drive alignment across multiple engineering organizations, and ensure Axon can deliver secure, compliant cloud services without sacrificing velocity.
What You’ll Do
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.
