About Axon Vision
Axon Vision is a new business venture within Axon with a simple mission: turn any live video feed into a real-time, AI-powered sensor. We operate like a startup inside a larger company. We move fast, adapt quickly and deliver high-impact products from ambiguous requirements.
Vision is a cross-pillar effort. The AI, DEMS/Enterprise and RTO pillars each own a critical part of the platform, the models and the customer experience, and each has its own roadmap and constraints.
As the Axon Vision TPM, you turn that ambiguity into one coordinated plan that three pillars believe in and execute. You own the program from end to end: the integrated roadmap, the dependencies, the risks, the release gates and the story we tell leadership. You act as the proxy for Vision's engineering and product leaders, and you are trusted to drive decisions rather than just track them.
This is an individual contributor role, reporting into Axon Vision engineering leadership.
Own the integrated Axon Vision program plan across the AI, DEMS/Enterprise and RTO pillars, from early access through general availability and beyond.
Turn unclear or competing requirements into a single work-back plan with named owners, dates and exit criteria for each gate.
Map and manage cross-pillar dependencies across cloud services, edge devices, model development and customer-facing applications.
Run the mechanisms that keep the program honest: planning, risk reviews, release readiness (including shiproom), status reporting and escalation.
Clarify substantially unclear or contradictory requirements, and proactively seek the details needed to commit to a plan.

Required
Demonstrated ownership of a complex, multi-team program with a clear definition of success.
Ability to look around corners: anticipates dependencies, integration risks and release gating needs before they become issues.
Strong judgment on when to escalate, to whom and with what recommendation (for example, a 1:3:1).
A record of building mechanisms and templates that other teams adopt.
This role requires someone who can independently drive a high-visibility program to success while earning the trust of engineers, product leaders and executives.
Preferred
Experience with computer vision, machine learning or AI platforms, including model training, evaluation and deployment loops. If you haven't, you're excited to learn.
Experience with real-time or near real-time systems, video streaming, or edge and IoT devices.
Familiarity with public safety, law enforcement, corrections or other regulated environments, including security and privacy reviews.
Experience taking a new product from early access to general availability, including customer pilots and production-readiness sign-off.
Experience running programs across a mix of cloud services and physical devices.
