Description
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
Step into a role where your deals don’t just hit quota—they make history. At Axon, we’re on a mission to protect life and make the world a safer place, and as an Account Executive on our Corrections Sales Team, you’ll play a pivotal role in transforming how state correctional systems operate. This is the team that closed the largest single customer booking in our core domestic sales org last year—and we’re just getting started.
You’ll lead complex, enterprise-wide sales efforts that bring modern technology, data, and connected workflows into historically under-innovated environments. This isn’t transactional selling—you’ll build executive-level relationships, shape a compelling vision for change, and guide agencies from legacy systems to fully integrated ecosystems that improve safety, accountability, and outcomes.
If you’re looking to operate at the intersection of high-impact mission and high-stakes enterprise sales—with the visibility, complexity, and deal size to match—this is where you do it.
You’ll succeed by delivering a compelling point of view: why change is urgent, why it matters now, and why Axon is the partner to make it happen.

- Familiarity with public sector, Corrections, or Law Enforcement sales cycles, including navigating budget cycles and RFPs, is a plus

Who Thrives Here
- You challenge the status quo and push customers to rethink how they operate
- You’re comfortable operating in ambiguity and complexity, especially in public sector environments

About this role
Axon's Corrections sales team closed the largest single booking in the company's domestic org last year, and this Strategic Account Executive role is your entry point into that momentum. You'd own a multi-state territory across the West, leading enterprise sales cycles that move state correctional systems from legacy infrastructure to integrated technology ecosystems. This isn't about transactional deals—you're building executive relationships across multiple stakeholders, navigating procurement and budget cycles, and positioning Axon's solutions as a strategic imperative in environments that have historically resisted modernization.
The role demands 8+ years of quota-carrying experience in complex enterprise or public sector sales, with proven success scaling multi-state territories and closing high-value, multi-year deals. You'll need to sell with conviction, articulate urgency in slow-moving organizations, and orchestrate cross-functional teams (product, technical, legal, leadership) to win. Public sector or Corrections experience is a plus but not required; what matters is your track record of driving organizational transformation through technology adoption in regulated, complex environments.
If you thrive on ownership, operate well in ambiguity, and are motivated by impact as much as upside, this role offers uncapped commission with significant accelerators—top performers historically earn well above target. You'd be working in-office in Salt Lake City with 50% travel minimum, reporting to the Director of Sales for Corrections at a company growing 40% year-over-year.
