Sr. Manager, FP&A

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.

About the role

As a Senior Manager, FP&A, you'll play a critical role in helping Axon scale by partnering with senior business leaders to drive thoughtful financial decisions across our corporate functions. You'll own budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning for major SG&A organizations, providing the insights and strategic guidance that enable leaders to invest wisely while maintaining financial discipline.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being more than a financial analyst - you'll be a trusted business partner, working directly with executive leaders to evaluate investments, optimize spending, and help shape the future of the business. You'll thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where curiosity, ownership, and strong business judgment are highly valued.

• Identify financial risks and opportunities, proactively recommending actions to improve predictability and business outcomes.

• Public Company Experience (preferred).

Skills
