Your Impact
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.

You'll thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where curiosity, ownership, and strong business judgment are highly valued.
