AI Evangelist - Program Manager

Join Axon and be a Force for Good.

Axon's Corporate AI Team sits within the Enterprise Data organization and focuses on internal-facing AI solutions that help Axon employees do more high‑value work with less manual effort. The team builds and operates Cortex, Axon's internal AI platform that provides GPT‑class models, chat assistants, and secure integrations with systems like Quip, Jira, Slack, Microsoft 365, Snowflake, and more.

We're looking for an AI/Technology Evangelist to drive the adoption, understanding, and responsible use of AI across Axon. In this role, you'll:

• Be the bridge between the Corporate AI Team's capabilities and the rest of the organization—translating what's possible into what's practical.
• Design and deliver training programs, workshops, demos, and enablement materials that help employees at every level use AI tools effectively and safely.
• Identify high‑impact AI use cases across business units, champion them from concept to adoption, and measure their impact.
• Build and maintain the internal AI playbook—guides, best practices, templates, and reference materials that make it easy for teams to build with AI.

• Design, build, and deliver training programs (workshops, office hours, lunch‑and‑learns, self‑paced content) that help Axon employees effectively use AI tools including Cortex, Claude, Copilot, and internal AI‑powered applications.
• Create and maintain a library of enablement materials—quick‑start guides, prompt engineering playbooks, video walkthroughs, FAQs, and best‑practice documentation.
• Run an internal AI champions program (e.g., Champions Circle) to cultivate power users across business units who can drive adoption within their teams.
• Track and report on adoption metrics—usage, engagement, satisfaction, and business impact—to measure progress and identify gaps.

• Partner with teams across Axon (Finance, Sales, Operations, Legal, HR, Support, Engineering) to identify workflows where AI can meaningfully reduce toil, improve quality, or create leverage.
• Prioritize use cases based on impact, feasibility, and alignment with Axon's mission; work with the Corporate AI Team to scope and deliver solutions.
• Build lightweight prototypes and demos that show teams what's possible before committing engineering resources.
• Document and share success stories—quantified wins, before/after workflows, and lessons learned—to build momentum across the organization.

• Serve as the primary internal voice for Axon's AI platform—communicating roadmap updates, new capabilities, best practices, and success stories to all levels of the organization.
• Create compelling content (blog posts, internal newsletters, Slack updates, demo videos, presentations) that keeps AI visible and accessible.
• Present to leadership and executive audiences on AI adoption progress, emerging opportunities, and strategic recommendations.
• Represent Axon's Corporate AI work externally where appropriate—conferences, meetups, industry events, and thought leadership content.

• Educate teams on safe and responsible use of AI tools—covering topics like secrets management, data classification, prompt injection risks, and compliance requirements (CJIS, FedRAMP, SOC
  2).
• Develop and maintain a "Vibe Coding" safety guide and similar resources that help employees understand the risks of AI‑generated code and content.
• Partner with Security, Legal, and Governance teams to ensure AI adoption programs reflect Axon's policies and ethical commitments.
• Help operationalize responsible AI guardrails—model selection guidance, data minimization, usage controls, and audit logging.

• Build and maintain a clear map of AI initiatives happening across Axon—connecting teams solving similar problems and preventing duplication of effort.
• Stay current with the rapidly evolving AI landscape (new models, tools, techniques, risks) and translate what matters into actionable guidance for the organization.
• Evaluate new AI tools and vendors;…
