Your Impact

As Axon's Senior Director, Business Technology (IT CRM), you'll lead one of the most important technology platforms in the company. Salesforce is the backbone of how Axon sells, quotes, bills, and serves customers — spanning Sales Cloud, CPQ, Billing, Experience Cloud, Service Cloud, Agentforce, and deep integrations across our business technology ecosystem. You'll help guide Axon's end-to-end Quote-to-Cash transformation — modernizing how the business moves from opportunity to quote to order to revenue, and unlocking the velocity and accuracy the next phase of Axon's growth depends on. You'll also set the strategy for how AI is integrated into the platform to make sellers, agents, and operations teams dramatically more productive.

This is a senior leadership role for someone who has scaled Salesforce platforms in high-growth B2B environments. You'll set the multi-year platform strategy, build and lead a team of architects, developers, and admins, and partner directly with executive stakeholders across Sales, RevOps, Finance, Customer Success, and IT. You'll be accountable for the platform's technical excellence, delivery rigor, and business outcomes — and for building the team and operating model to sustain both as Axon continues to grow.
