VP, Head of International Marketing

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

International markets are one of Axon’s biggest growth engines across the law enforcement and defense segments. As Head of of International Marketing, you will own the end-to-end marketing strategy, storytelling, and go-to-market execution for Axon across priority global markets outside the U.S.

You will lead a distributed international marketing team spanning CAN, EMEA, the UK, LatAm, and APAC, partnering closely with regional sales leaders to grow demand in global markets and deliver against ambitious pipeline and bookings targets. You will also be accountable for scaling localization and creative systems so that Axon shows up as a trusted, locally relevant public safety technology brand in every international market we serve.

This is a highly strategic, hands-on leadership role that sits at the intersection of marketing, sales, product, and customer. You will shape Axon’s presence around the world, and how quickly we can translate that presence into measurable pipeline and revenue.
