Your Impact
The Trials & Evaluation team sits at the heart of Axon's go-to-market engine — turning curiosity into conviction for the agencies and organizations we serve. We manage the end-to-end experience that puts Axon hardware and software in the hands of real customers, letting our products speak for themselves. If you thrive on operational excellence, cross-functional collaboration, and making complex logistics look effortless, this is the team for you.
What You’ll Do
- Trial Operations:
- Receive, triage, and process incoming trial requests from the Sales team, ensuring all necessary information is captured before procurement begins
- Coordinate the procurement, configuration, and shipping of Axon hardware and software for customer trials
- Schedule and confirm trial resources, including Professional Service Managers and field installers, aligning availability with trial timelines
- Track active trials end-to-end and manage the post-trial return process for all gear, ensuring accurate inventory reconciliation
- ALPR Program Coordination:
- Coordinate end-to-end logistics and operational setup for Axon's Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR) trials — including device staging, vehicle and fixed-site installation scheduling, and post-trial recovery across mobile, trailer-based, and fixed deployments
- Partner with Sales, Product Success Managers, and field installers to ensure each pilot is configured to the agency's specific use case, coverage area, and hotlist requirements
- Bring working knowledge of the jurisdictional permitting considerations that surround ALPR camera placement (e.g., right-of-way, utility/pole attachment, DOT/traffic) so trial scoping, timelines, and customer conversations realistically account for what the agency will need to secure on their side
- Build and maintain trackers for ALPR trial milestones and hotlist sources — with visibility into any agency-side prerequisites — to ensure auditability and a smooth handoff to Customer Success at trial conversion
- Partner with Legal, Privacy, and agency stakeholders on community engagement materials, data-sharing agreements, and ALPR policy documentation frequently required ahead of pilot kickoff
- Cradlepoint Renewals:
- Serve as the primary SME and point of contact for the Cradlepoint renewal process
- Proactively coordinate with Sales, Customer Success Managers (CSMs), and cross-functional teams to manage upcoming renewals, generate quotes, and ensure zero lapse in service for customers
- Process & Automation:
- Build and maintain operational automations across Smartsheet, Slack, and Salesforce to streamline trial creation, tracking, and management workflows
- Create, maintain, and continuously improve documentation for all trial and evaluation processes to ensure consistency and scalability
- Partner with Product teams ahead of new product launches to ensure trial readiness, flagging gaps and coordinating solutions in advance
