This role requires someone who can independently drive a high-visibility program to success while earning the trust of engineers, product leaders and executives., * Experience with computer vision, machine learning or AI platforms, including model training, evaluation and deployment loops. If you haven't, you're excited to learn. * Experience with real-time or near real-time systems, video streaming, or edge and IoT devices. * Familiarity with public safety, law enforcement, corrections or other regulated environments, including security and privacy reviews. * Experience taking a new product from early access to general availability, including customer pilots and production-readiness sign-off. * Experience running programs across a mix of cloud services and physical devices. ## Description * Own the integrated Axon Vision program plan across the AI, DEMS/Enterprise and RTO pillars, from early access through general availability and beyond. * Turn unclear or competing requirements into a single work-back plan with named owners, dates and exit criteria for each gate. * Map and manage cross-pillar dependencies across cloud services, edge devices, model development and customer-facing applications. * Run the mechanisms that keep the program honest: planning, risk reviews, release readiness (including shiproom), status reporting and escalation., * Clarify substantially unclear or contradictory requirements, and proactively seek the details needed to commit to a plan. * Foresee, manage and mitigate risks early. Delegate mitigation ownership and escalate crisply, up to three levels, when it matters. * Drive prioritization across pillars, including influencing how each pillar prioritizes its dependencies against its own backlog. * Partner with engineering, product, science, QA, security, legal and hardware teams to make sure technical, compliance and policy needs are met for long-term success. * Facilitate architecture and design reviews with staff engineers, and drive trade-off discussions with technical leaders at the right level of detail. * Define program metrics and measure success by customer outcomes and quality targets, not just by shipping. * Own program status reporting for senior leaders, including monthly business reviews, pillar rollups and executive updates. * Raise the bar on execution across Vision by contributing reusable planning and reporting mechanisms. * Mentor other TPMs and peers, and take part in interviewing senior TPMs., * Proactively find the next most important problem and bring a recommendation to your leaders, not just a question. * Hold teams and pillars accountable to committed deliverables, with candor and without drama. * Stay calm and structured when requirements, dates and priorities change. * Communicate complex technical and program information clearly to engineers and to senior leaders., The above job description is not intended as, nor should it be construed as, exhaustive of all duties, responsibilities, skills, efforts, or working conditions associated with this job.
