Seattle, Washington, United States

Join Axon’s Business Solutions team as a Business Solutions Architect / Product Manager responsible for Axon’s Finance Systems portfolio. This role owns delivery and ongoing product management for critical finance platforms that support close, consolidation, revenue recognition, compliance, and financial reporting. In the near term, you will lead two high‑visibility initiatives: the implementation of Axon’s Finance & Accounting Consolidation platform and a major Rev Stream upgrade.
