Vice President, Brand & Creative

Job Title: Vice President, Brand & Creative
Location: Boston, Phoenix, or Seattle office (Mon remote, Tues - Friday in office)
Reports to: SVP, Marketing

As our products transform public safety, justice, and emergency response, our brand must do more than communicate what we build-it must inspire belief in why we build it.

We9re looking for an exceptional Vice President of Brand to lead Axon9s global creative and brand function. This leader will shape how the world experiences Axon across every touchpoint-from breakthrough campaigns and product storytelling to executive content, events, video, digital experiences, and employer brand.

This is a rare opportunity to steward one of the most meaningful technology brands in the world. You9ll lead a team of designers, creatives, video producers, and storytellers responsible for bringing Axon9s mission to life and ensuring our brand continues to scale alongside the company.
Your Impact

As Vice President of Brand, you will own Axon9s global brand strategy, creative vision, and execution. You9ll lead the teams responsible for creative development, visual design, video production, and tier-one campaign creative, ensuring every expression of the brand reflects the innovation, optimism, and mission-driven culture that define Axon.

You9ll oversee a team of eight direct reports and partner closely with leaders across the Market teams, Digital, Communications, Product, and Executive Leadership to create work that drives awareness, engagement, trust, and business growth.

This role requires both strategic vision and operational excellence. You9ll set the creative standard for the company while building scalable systems, processes, and talent that enable a world-class brand organization.
