Sr. Product Operations Manager

axonScottsdale, AZFull-time

The Sr. Product Operations Manager owns end-to-end product operations for Axon's drone and robotics product lines, making high-stakes decisions on quality standards, stop-ship criteria, cost reduction strategies, and SKU architecture. Working at the intersection of engineering, finance, operations, and customer success, this position requires both analytical rigor to model product economics and field credibility to resolve customer escalations onsite. The role suits experienced operations professionals with a background in manufacturing or production environments who can navigate ambiguity, partner effectively with engineers on trade-offs, and drive both immediate issue resolution and long-term portfolio optimization. Success demands balancing competing priorities—pushing for cost reductions while maintaining quality, planning for future products while optimizing current ones, and translating between technical and commercial stakeholders with clarity and influence.
