Overview Join Axon as a Principal Cloud Product Manager. At Axon, we’re on a mission to Protect Life. We’re explorers, pursuing society’s most critical safety and justice issues with our ecosystem of devices and cloud software. Like our products, we work better together. We connect with candor and care, seeking out diverse perspectives from our customers, communities and each other. What You’ll Do Drive European Cloud Product Strategy: Own the roadmap for Axon’s international platform delivery, particularly within sovereign, hybrid, and restricted cloud environments. Shape data residency, security posture, and national cloud compliance across EU markets. Be the Voice of the Customer: Lead customer discovery with operational users, CIOs, and regulators to surface technical and policy constraints—translating them into clear product requirements and architectural recommendations. Guide Compliance-Led Innovation: Partner with Security, Legal, and Engineering to embed EU-specific needs (e.g., GDPR, SecNumCloud, PSN) into platform capabilities like data segregation, auditability, and encryption key ownership. Evangelize with Authority: Represent Axon at customer briefings, compliance roundtables, industry panels, and executive engagements. Make the case for Axon’s cloud architecture with fluency in infrastructure, policy, and risk frameworks. Own Localization Strategy: Help Axon’s platform adapt to language, legislative, and deployment constraints without compromising core value or scalability. Partner Cross-Functionally: Work closely with Sales, Proposals, Program Management, and Engineering to deliver both tactical solutions and long-range product positioning in EU tender processes. Lead Product Influence in Tenders: Serve as the technical and product lead for regional RFPs—crafting clear, compliant, and competitive responses that meet high public sector scrutiny. What You Bring Experience 7 years in product management with strong experience in cloud infrastructure, SaaS platforms, and sovereign cloud delivery models. Direct experience with hybrid deployments, data sovereignty requirements, and compliance-based product development in heavily regulated industries (public sector, defense, healthcare, etc.). Strong track record influencing cloud strategy, including architectural tradeoffs (e.g., BYOK, data residency, isolation zones) with internal teams and external partners. Experience working directly with government agencies, IT leaders, and procurement officials—ideally in support of mission-critical or compliance-sensitive technologies. Familiarity with major cloud platforms (e.g., Azure, AWS, GCP) and how they intersect with regulatory frameworks like GDPR, C5, and PSN. Skills Deep product judgment with ability to balance local market specificity and global platform priorities. Excellent written and verbal communication skills—clear, structured, and persuasive, especially under regulatory or technical scrutiny. Ability to distill complex technical and legal requirements into actionable product strategy. Comfort leading discussions around architecture, security, hosting models, and data governance with both internal stakeholders and public-sector clients. Fluency in additional European languages (e.g., French, Spanish, German) is a plus. Willingness to travel ~20% across Europe.
