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 an Account Executive on our Campus team, you will manage and grow a defined, high-impact territory across the Central U.S., focused on higher education and K–12 campus customers. You will own the full sales cycle across a mid-size book of business, driving regional growth through disciplined execution, strong customer relationships, and consistent sales performance.

This role is built for sellers who can independently run complex deals, think beyond single transactions, and turn territory strategy into real revenue — without needing to set company-wide sales vision. You’ll operate with autonomy, but within a clearly defined regional remit and playbook.

Success here isn’t about waiting for leads—it’s about being relentlessly proactive, forecasting with precision, and unlocking long-term strategic growth.
