It's operational leadership.</p> <p>As a Mission Operator II, you serve as the trusted technical advisor for complex public safety agencies, helping customers maximize the value of Axon's technology ecosystem throughout the entire customer lifecycle. You don't wait for problems to surface—you anticipate them. You don't simply resolve issues—you create lasting operational improvements.</p> <p>You combine deep software expertise with knowledge of hardware, networking, cloud technologies, AI, and public safety operations to help agencies modernize how they work. Customers rely on your judgment, technical leadership, and ability to navigate complex challenges while building confidence in both the technology and the partnership.</p> <p>Mission Operators aren't measured by activity—they're measured by customer trust, operational outcomes, and technology that performs when it matters most. Mission Operators thrive in ambiguity, solve problems others can't, and earn trust through action. They combine technical expertise with operational leadership to help customers achieve outcomes that matter—because when public safety agencies succeed, lives are protected.</p> <h2><strong>What You'll Do</strong></h2> <p>Location: On Site with travel<br>Reports To: Manager or Senior Manager of Mission Engineering</p> <h3><strong>Strategic Customer Partnership</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Serve as the primary technical advisor for assigned public safety agencies.</li> <li>Build trusted relationships with technical, operational, and executive stakeholders.</li> <li>Conduct regular business and technology reviews focused on operational success.</li> <li>Develop long-term customer success and technology adoption strategies.</li> <li>Represent customer priorities across Axon.</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Technical Leadership</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Independently troubleshoot complex software, hardware, networking, cloud, and integration issues.</li> <li>Lead technical escalations involving Product, Engineering, Support, and Professional Services.</li> <li>Guide implementation planning, architecture discussions, and technology modernization.</li> <li>Serve as the technical authority during deployments and operational challenges.</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Deployment & Operational Excellence</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Lead deployments across multiple Axon products.</li> <li>Drive customer adoption and operational optimization.</li> <li>Identify workflow improvements that improve customer efficiency.</li> <li>Support AI adoption and digital transformation initiatives.</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Data & Customer Insights</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Analyze customer health, adoption metrics, and operational performance.</li> <li>Utilize Power BI, SQL, dashboards, and reporting tool
