[Hiring] Product Specialist, Productivity @Axon

Role Description

Axon Product Specialists partner with Account Executives on Major & Top 1200 accounts, engaging the largest and most complex public safety agencies in the U.S. You’ll be the strategic technical voice in the room—leading deep discovery, shaping solution design, and guiding agencies through Axon’s RMS (Records Management System) ecosystem.

You’ll own project scoping, SOW development, and help steer long-term product growth by surfacing insights from the field.
