Account Executive, Corrections

Minnesota-Remote

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

Step into a role where your deals don’t just hit quota—they make history. At Axon, we’re on a mission to protect life and make the world a safer place, and as an Account Executive on our Corrections Sales Team, you’ll play a pivotal role in transforming how state correctional systems operate. This is the team that closed the largest single customer booking in our core domestic sales org last year—and we’re just getting started.

You’ll lead complex, enterprise-wide sales efforts that bring modern technology, data, and connected workflows into historically under-innovated environments. This isn’t transactional selling—you’ll build executive-level relationships, shape a compelling vision for change, and guide agencies from legacy systems to fully integrated ecosystems that improve safety, accountability, and outcomes.

If you’re looking to operate at the intersection of high-impact mission and high-stakes enterprise sales—with the visibility, complexity, and deal size to match—this is where you do it.

You’ll succeed by delivering a compelling point of view: why change is urgent, why it matters now, and why Axon is the partner to make it happen.

  • Develop and execute territory and account strategies for large, high-impact agencies, focused on long-term revenue growth and market expansion
  • Lead complex, multi-year sales cycles that drive meaningful transformation, positioning Axon’s solutions as a strategic priority—not a nice-to-have
  • Build and maintain executive-level relationships, creating alignment and urgency across multiple stakeholders within state agencies

  • Act as the quarterback of the deal, orchestrating cross-functional teams (product, technical, legal, leadership) to win complex opportunities
  • Sell across a portfolio of integrated solutions, clearly articulating how Axon’s ecosystem delivers measurable outcomes
  • Drive pipeline strategy, forecasting accuracy, and overall territory performance to consistently exceed targets
  • Expand relationships across agencies by building multi-threaded networks and positioning Axon as a long-term strategic partner

  • Ability to sell with a strong point of view, clearly articulating urgency and driving change in slow-moving organizations
  • Experience selling complex, multi-product or platform solutions, translating technical capabilities into clear business outcomes
  • Track record of leading team-based sales motions, orchestrating internal and external stakeholders to win complex opportunities
  • Ability to build and maintain executive-level relationships, positioning yourself as a trusted advisor
  • Experience leveraging CRM tools (Salesforce or similar) to drive pipeline strategy, forecasting accuracy, and territory performance
  • Familiarity with public sector, Corrections, or Law Enforcement sales cycles, including navigating budget cycles and RFPs, is a plus
  • Highly autonomous operator who can own the business and drive results across a distributed, cross-functional team

 

Who Thrives Here

  • You challenge the status quo and push customers to rethink how they operate
  • You’re comfortable operating in ambiguity and complexity, especially in public sector environments
  • You don’t wait for consensus—you build it, influence it, and close it
  • You’re motivated by impact, ownership, and upside, not just stability

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
