Join Axon and Be a Force for Good
At Axon, we're on a mission to Protect Life. We're building the future of public safety through an ecosystem of connected devices, software, AI, robotics, drones, and real-time operations technologies that help save lives around the world.
As our products transform public safety, justice, and emergency response, our brand must do more than communicate what we build-it must inspire belief in why we build it.
We're looking for an exceptional Vice President of Brand to lead Axon's global creative and brand function. This leader will shape how the world experiences Axon across every touchpoint-from breakthrough campaigns and product storytelling to executive content, events, video, digital experiences, and employer brand.
This is a rare opportunity to steward one of the most meaningful technology brands in the world. You'll lead a team of designers, creatives, video producers, and storytellers responsible for bringing Axon's mission to life and ensuring our brand continues to scale alongside the company.
Your Impact
As Vice President of Brand, you will own Axon's global brand strategy, creative vision, and execution. You'll lead the teams responsible for creative development, visual design, video production, and tier-one campaign creative, ensuring every expression of the brand reflects the innovation, optimism, and mission-driven culture that define Axon.
You'll oversee a team of eight direct reports and partner closely with leaders across the Market teams, Digital, Communications, Product, and Executive Leadership to create work that drives awareness, engagement, trust, and business growth.
This role requires both strategic vision and operational excellence. You'll set the creative standard for the company while building scalable systems, processes, and talent that enable a world-class brand organization.
The ideal candidate is equally comfortable debating brand architecture with executives, reviewing campaign concepts with creatives, directing a commercial shoot, and helping shape the future of one of technology's most mission-driven companies.
