Your Impact

As a Senior Principal Technical Program Manager on the Real-Time Operations team, you will lead some of Axon's most complex, ambiguous and high-risk programs across R&D and the broader company.

You will own organization-level and company-level initiatives where success requires alignment across multiple pillars, executive stakeholders and, in many cases, multiple TPMs. You will be the person senior leadership turns to when the work has no obvious owner, the solution is not yet known and the consequences of getting it wrong are significant.

You will identify problems and opportunities before requirements exist, define the strategy, translate that strategy into an executable plan and drive alignment around the people, resources and commitments required to deliver it.

You will operate as a strategic advisor to senior product and engineering leadership, including the RTO SVP, CTO and their directs. You will tell leaders what they need to hear, surface risks before they become issues and help shape both short-term execution and long-term technical direction.

At this level, your scope extends beyond delivering an individual program. You will lead programs with multiple TPMs, establish mechanisms that improve execution across organizations and raise the standard for technical program management across Axon.

The Real-Time Operations team builds, deploys and maintains products for emergency responders, specifically built around the Axon Fusus platform. Because every second counts for our customers, any production outage, functional regression or performance degradation that lasts even a few minutes can have a real impact.

The ideal candidate combines deep technical judgment, strong executive presence and the ability to drive accountability across organizations without relying on direct authority.
