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 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.
