Job description

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 a key member of Axon's Global Security Team, you will lead and elevate physical security operations for a primary Axon campus, with the potential to expand oversight to multiple locations as the organization continues to grow. You will be responsible for ensuring the safety of our people, property, and visitors while fostering a culture of trust, vigilance, and service. In this role, you'll bridge tactical execution with strategic planning — managing daily operations, developing your team, and helping shape the future of Axon's global security posture.

What You'll Do

  • Lead and manage all day-to-day physical security operations for your assigned campus.
  • Supervise, mentor, and develop a team of security professionals, ensuring high performance, professionalism, and accountability.
  • Oversee staffing schedules to ensure consistent coverage and efficient alignment of responsibilities.
  • Create and maintain post orders, standard operating procedures, and incident response guidelines.
  • Partner with the Global Security leadership team to conduct risk assessments, implement mitigation strategies, and enhance security readiness.
  • Oversee operation and optimization of security technologies including CCTV, access control, visitor management, and intrusion detection systems.
  • Review and approve incident reports, ensuring completeness, accuracy, and appropriate follow-up.
  • Coordinate with GSOC and Emergency Response teams during incidents, drills, or escalations.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Facilities, HR, IT, and other stakeholders to support business continuity, crisis management, and workplace safety.
  • Analyze data, security metrics, and incident trends to drive operational excellence and program improvements.
  • Build and maintain relationships with local law enforcement, emergency services, and community partners.
  • Serve as an on-call leader for critical incidents or emergencies outside of regular hours.
  • Support and contribute to regional and global security initiatives, driving continuous improvement and innovation within the department.

What You Bring

  • Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice, Security Management, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.
  • 7+ years of progressively responsible experience in corporate or campus security, including at least 3 years in a leadership or supervisory capacity.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead and motivate diverse teams and foster a culture of excellence and accountability.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and familiarity with enterprise-level CCTV, access control, and security technology platforms.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, capable of interacting effectively across all levels of the organization.
  • Proven ability to manage crises calmly and decisively, making sound decisions under pressure.
  • Experience developing and improving security processes and programs through data-driven analysis.
  • Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, or on-call shifts as required by business needs.
  • A positive, forward-looking mindset — someone who aims far, challenges the status quo, and contributes innovative ideas that make Axon safer and stronger.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Professional security certifications such as CPP (Certified Protection Professional), PSP (Physical Security Professional), CFE (Certified Fraud Examiner), or CTAP (Certified Threat Assessment Professional).
  • Experience managing or supporting multi-site operations.
  • Knowledge of emergency preparedness, crisis management, and business continuity planning.
  • Experience partnering with law enforcement and regulatory agencies.
  • Familiarity with enterprise-level security software, risk management tools, and reporting platforms.
  • Demonstrated success driving continuous improvement and innovation within a corporate security environment.
  • Benefits that Benefit You

  • Competitive salary and 401(k) with employer match
  • Excellent medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Flexible paid time off
  • Opportunities for professional growth, certifications, and development
  • The ability to contribute directly to Axon's mission of protecting life and advancing justice
  • We are an equal opportunity employer that promotes justice, advances equity, values diversity and fosters inclusion. We're committed to hiring the best talent — regardless of race, creed, color, ancestry, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship status, marital status, disability, gender identity, genetic information, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations and ordinances — and empowering all of our employees so they can do their best work. If you have a disability or special need that requires assistance or accommodation during the application or recruiting process, please email recruitingops@axon.com.
