Your Impact

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.

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.
