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

The Manager, Global Employee Experience PM is the operating engine of Axon’s Culture & People Experience team. You’ll lead Culture Operations & PMO: the operating plan, budget and forecast, vendor contracts, project plans, and cadence that let our culture swim lanes deliver on time, on budget, and anchored to our CME pillars of Customer, Mission, and Employee.

This is a individual contributor leadership role. You’ll turn a broad, global portfolio, spanning signature moments like the Company Kick-Off, New Hire Orientation (NHO), recognition, onboarding, annual Compliance training, and site experience across our offices, into one clear plan with clear owners. This role blends project management, program execution, operational excellence, and employee experience, ensuring that our processes are scalable, consistent, and reflective of Axon’s culture. You’ll partner across teams to create a smooth, engaging, and well-organized experience for employees as they join and grow within the company.

What You’ll Do

Location: Scottsdale, Seattle or Boston. 4 days a week in office (Tues-Fri)
Reports to: Vice President of Culture and People Experience

Lead the Culture Operating Plan. Build and maintain the annual operating plan across all Culture swim lanes, from Signature Moments and Recognition to Onboarding, Axon Aid, and Site Experience. Set the planning and review cadence, and track milestones, dependencies, risks, and decisions for every program in the portfolio.
Run the Culture PMO. Establish standard PMO practices so programs are repeatable, scalable, and consistently executed across regions and sites. Drive adoption of Monday.com as the Culture program management platform and maintain the Culture SharePoint hub as the home for playbooks, templates, vendor records, and program artifacts.
Own the Culture budget and forecast. Manage the department budget end to end: monthly forecasting with Finance, a single source of truth for spend, burn-rate alerts, and program-level budget accountability with each lane owner.
Manage vendors and contracts. Own Culture vendor contracts and renewals (e.g., MetaCoach, Picnic, Bonusly, event venues) in partnership with Procurement, including terms, renewal calendars, and vendor performance.
Lead the Company Kick-Off activations. Serve as program lead for Axon’s largest culture moment, owning the operating rhythm, timeline, and cross-functional coordination with Executives, Marketing, HALO, and lane owners.
Run the Employee Experience operating cadence. Lead the weekly rhythm for a flat pod of EE Program Managers: status reviews, priority setting, capacity planning, and escalations. This role leads through influence and has no direct reports.
Own end-to-end project management for annual compliance training. Lead the yearly program from planning through launch and close-out. This includes the timeline, milestones, risks, and decisions across all required modules
Own Culture intake channels. Manage the Shape Culture inbox and Culture Zendesk queue, including triage, routing rules, and timely, high-quality responses, using AI-assisted workflows where they help.
Champion AI enablement. Help every Culture teammate use AI tools such as Claude to work faster, reduce manual work, and scale programs.

What You’ll Bring

3+ years in program management, PMO, business operations, or employee experience operations, including 2+ years owning a multi-program portfolio.
A proven track record building and running a PMO or program portfolio, including operating plans, governance cadences, intake and prioritization, RAID tracking, and executive-ready status reporting.
Experience owning a department or program budget, forecasting monthly with Finance, and managing spend to plan.
Experience negotiating, managing, and renewing vendor contracts in partnership with Procurement.
Hands-on experience with work management platforms (Monday.com, Asana, Smartsheet, or similar) and collaboration hubs such as SharePoint; familiarity with dashboards and BI tools (e.g., Sigma, Snowflake) is a plus.
Ability to drive accountability and alignment across peers, a flat team, and senior stakeholders without direct reporting lines.
Experience delivering high-visibility, company-wide programs or events with executive stakeholders.
Exceptional organization and attention to detail, with a strong sense of ownership and follow-through.
Clear, concise written and verbal communication, including executive updates and cross-functional briefings.
Comfort with ambiguity and the ability to stay calm and solutions-oriented under pressure.
