What Is a Technical Program Manager?

A technical program manager oversees a company’s technical projects, such as implementing new network systems or developing new products. Job duties include supervising development teams, assessing work schedules, assessing productivity, and addressing any quality assurance issues that arise during production. Technical program managers are often responsible for creating reports to upper management based on the functions of the products and making suggestions on how to streamline future projects. They may also help the organization develop new strategies related to production and sales goals.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Technical Program Manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Technical Program Manager, you need a strong background in project management, software development processes, and a relevant technical degree or equivalent experience. Familiarity with tools like Jira, Confluence, Agile methodologies, and PMP or Scrum certifications is highly beneficial. Excellent communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills set top performers apart in this role. These skills ensure seamless project delivery, effective team collaboration, and alignment between technical teams and business goals.

How do Technical Program Managers typically collaborate with engineering and product teams to ensure project success?

Technical Program Managers (TPMs) play a central role in facilitating communication and alignment between engineering, product, and other cross-functional teams. They work closely with product managers to define project requirements and prioritize deliverables, while coordinating with engineering to develop realistic timelines and resolve technical challenges. TPMs often lead regular meetings, track progress, and proactively address risks to keep everyone on the same page. Building strong relationships and fostering a culture of open dialogue are essential for TPMs to ensure projects stay on track and meet business goals.

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
Axon is seeking a results-driven and experienced Senior Technical Sustainment Manager to drive customer satisfaction, product enablement, and feature adoption throughout the Records Management System (RMS) deployment lifecycle. This role plays a pivotal part in ensuring accurate scoping so we sign customers with confidence, and they continue to thrive on Records after they graduate from their dedicated Technical Account Managers. You will drive feature enablement, promote customer adoption, and lead sustainment initiatives that extend well beyond go-live through structured training, quality assurance, and advanced escalation support.
The ideal candidate brings a proven track record of cross-functional leadership, with hands-on experience in program management, technical enablement of SaaS products, training strategy, and customer success across complex enterprise solutions. Success in this role requires a long-term mindset-focusing on full product utilization, value realization, and continuous learning for our customers.
What You'll Do
Location: Hybrid in office. US-based Axon hub sites (Atlanta, Boston, Denver, Scottsdale, Austin, Chicago, Charlotte, or Seattle metro areas)
Travel: 30-40%
Reports to: Senior Director
As a Senior Technical Sustainment Manager focused on customer enablement, you will own a portfolio of law enforcement agencies who have completed their initial RMS implementation, and have achieved sustained adoption with their initial build. Your mission is to ensure these agencies continue to realize value from their investment by supporting post-deployment growth, driving sustained feature adoption, and serving as their strategic technical partner. You will bridge the gap between initial go-live and long-term operational maturity, ensuring they evolve and expand their usage of RMS in parallel with their operations. Your role will include (but not limited to):
  1. Serve as an operational RMS expert embedded within the Productivity PSO team to support pre-sales and post-deployment needs.
  2. Act as a liaison between Sales, services, and Product to validate Statements of Work (SOW) and unique customer requirements, ensuring alignment with the current and future state of the RMS product roadmap.
  3. Serve as a critical escalation resource for post-deployment issues outside normal customer support for agencies without a Technical Account Manager (TAM).
  4. Increase team bandwidth and throughput by serving as a sustainment resource to address escalated customer challenges.
  5. Project-manage new customer requests for services such as a 3rd-party integration for deployed customers without TAMs.
  6. Measure and report out on customer satisfaction/sentiment on a quarterly basis for all your supported agencies.
  7. Continually educate your supported agencies with training and information about new features to support ongoing customer adoption.
  8. Routinely audit the health of your agencies' environments and configuration to continually improve their operational effectiveness.
  9. Collate and share the most impactful customer feedback across the agencies you support for the Product team's awareness and prioritization.

What You Bring
  • 5+ years of experience in program or project management, enablement, or related roles in a technical or SaaS environment.
  • Proven experience developing and delivering training programs and customer education initiatives.
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, with demonstrated ability to influence and align teams.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, including experience hosting webinars or training sessions.
  • Proven ability to thrive in dynamic, evolving environments and to deliver results autonomously and collaboratively.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with public safety or government technology deployments.
  • Familiarity with complex enterprise software.
  • Certification in Project Management (PMP, Agile, etc.) or Enablement (ATD, etc.) is a plus.

Benefits that Benefit You
  • Competitive salary and 401k with employer match
  • Discretionary paid time off
  • Paid parental leave for all
  • Medical, Dental, Vision plans
  • Fitness Programs
  • Emotional & Mental Wellness support
  • Learning & Development programs
  • And yes, we have snacks in our offices
