Job description

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.

Reports to: Senior Director, Trust & Security

Direct Reports: 0

• Lead planning and execution of large-scale security compliance programs (e.g., FedRAMP, GovRAMP, CJIS, FIPS), with an emphasis on internal delivery and operational execution.
• Translate regulatory frameworks (e.g., NIST 800-53) into actionable engineering roadmaps, backlogs, milestones, and measurable exit criteria.
• Drive cross-team delivery of control implementations, including remediation plans, dependency mapping, and release sequencing.
• Coordinate and improve the end-to-end evidence lifecycle (collection, validation, freshness, repeatability), partnering with engineering to scale compliance automation.
• Maintain integrated program plans and artifacts (roadmaps, schedules, risk registers, RAID logs) and proactively identify and mitigate technical and execution risks.
• Serve as the execution liaison between Engineering and Compliance stakeholders, ensuring work is audit-ready and operationally durable.
• Communicate program status, risks, and tradeoffs to technical and executive stakeholders; drive accountability across distributed teams.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 8+ years of experience managing complex software and/or infrastructure programs; 4+ years in security and/or compliance-focused technical program management (leveling will align to experience).
• Demonstrated experience delivering cloud solutions aligned with frameworks such as FedRAMP / NIST 800-53 / ISO 27001 / SOC 2 / DoD SRG.
• Strong understanding of modern engineering delivery practices (Agile), dependency/risk management, and cross-functional collaboration.
• Ability to go deep technically enough to partner credibly with engineering: breaking down controls into implementation work, sequencing, and validation.
• Excellent communication skills—able to translate technical detail into clear status and executive narratives.
• Experience with compliance/evidence automation (CI/CD controls, policy-as-code, SIEM/CSPM outputs, continuous monitoring).
• Prior work with government authorizations and assessor engagement.

Benefits that Benefit You

• Competitive salary and 401k with employer match
• Discretionary paid time off
• Paid parental leave for all
• Fitness Programs
• Emotional & Mental Wellness support
• Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)
• And yes, we have snacks in our offices
