The Opportunity
We are looking for a Sr Recruiting Manager, Sales to lead hiring for some of the most critical go-to-market roles at Axon. This includes senior individual contributors, front-line leadership, and strategic hiring aligned to our expansion across B2B, Federal, and emerging markets.

The right person brings strong judgment, urgency, and a willingness to dive in alongside their team. You will be expected to raise the talent bar, not simply fill seats.

- Identify aging or at-risk searches early and drive clear recovery plans.
- Partner closely with senior Sales leaders on talent strategy, profiles, prioritization, and hiring decisions.
- Use funnel, capacity, aging, conversion, and market data to diagnose issues and drive action.
- Build proactive pipelines for recurring and critical Sales talent.
- Bring creative approaches to sourcing, CRM, events, referrals, market mapping, AI, and recruiting technology.
- Personally step into critical searches or business problems when needed.
- Continuously improve how the team operates, removing friction and scaling what works.
What You Bring
- 6+ years of experience in Sales or GTM recruiting, with 2+ years of team leadership or mentoring responsibility
- Experience hiring Sales roles across multiple regions or segments, from senior individual contributors to front-line leaders, in high-growth environments
- Strong partnership with sales stakeholders and ability to influence hiring decisions
- Solid understanding of recruiting operations, funnel metrics, and recruiter productivity
- Track record of delivering against hiring goals while maintaining a high talent bar
- Comfort working with data to inform decisions, while exercising judgment beyond the numbers
- Experience improving recruiting processes, candidate experience, and stakeholder alignment
- High standards, low ego, and a willingness to be hands-on when needed
