What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Software Product Manager II position at Axon?
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.
As part of the TASER team, you’ll play a central role in evolving one of Axon’s foundational products — shaping the future of less-lethal technology and the software ecosystem that supports it.
Your Impact
In this role, you will be the product leader helping unite TASER hardware and software into a seamless, mission-critical ecosystem. Your work will span from the essentials of evidence creation and armorer workflows (assigning, maintaining, and monitoring devices) to building entirely new categories of data-driven products.
At the heart of this role is TREND — an evidence-based feedback loop that delivers actionable insights and recommendations for trainers and program administrators. TREND is a groundbreaking product in use-of-force analysis, giving agencies the ability to continuously improve outcomes through data and empirical feedback. As the Software Product Manager directing TREND, you’ll sit at the forefront of public safety innovation, ensuring Axon leads in evidence-backend training and operational excellence.
You’ll play a key role in shaping how Product and Engineering partner collaboratively. Our current approach depends heavily on sequential work, and we’re ready to transition toward more integrated collaboration. In this role, you’ll help transform it into a true partnership — mentoring a junior product manager, supporting engineering teams, and building stronger ways of working grounded in collaboration, shared accountability, and sound judgment.
This role sits at the intersection of complexity and momentum. It’s high-impact, high-visibility work where no two days look the same. We’re seeking someone who’s energized by diverse perspectives, keen to connect across disciplines, and excited to help define new ways of operating. This role is a great fit for someone who excels at turning complex ideas into actionable outcomes and is motivated by achieving meaningful results.
