Director of Video Production

Your Impact

Video is one of the most powerful tools Axon has to communicate what we build and why it matters. From product launches and trade show activations to customer stories and executive keynotes, video content shapes how law enforcement agencies, city leaders, and the public understand our mission.

What You'll Do

• Own the full production lifecycle for a blend of planned campaigns, reactive projects and internal videos
• Develop and manage project briefs, production schedules, shot lists, and delivery timelines in close collaboration with the Executive Creative Director and internal creative leads
• Cover all logistics for shoots including location, permitting, travel, equipment, and crew, whether in-studio or in the field
• Manage day-of production across shoots, serving as the primary point of contact for all internal and external stakeholders on set
• Serve as the primary liaison between Axon and any law enforcement agencies or public safety partners involved in production
• Own production budgets from estimate through final reconciliation, tracking spend across internal resources, contractors, and vendors
• Draft, manage, and execute contracts between Axon and production contractors, ensuring compliance with company procurement and legal standards
• Identify opportunities to increase production efficiency and reduce cost without sacrificing quality
• Work closely with the Executive Creative Director to ensure every project has a clear creative vision before production begins
• Partner with marketing, product, sales, and communications stakeholders to align on objectives, messaging, and deliverables
• Maintain brand consistency across all video output regardless of project size or format
• Contribute to the ongoing development of Axon's production infrastructure, workflows, and vendor relationships
