Senior Marketing Designer

Your Impact
Great design doesn't just support the Axon brand. It moves people to believe in it. As Senior Marketing Designer, you'll shape how Axon looks and feels across every surface: campaign creative, event environments, social content, sales materials, and brand moments that show up in front of law enforcement agencies, city governments, and the public.

This is a role for someone who operates with both creative confidence and entrepreneurial instinct. You'll take direction from the Executive Creative Director and run with it, but you'll also bring your own angles, push ideas forward, and find design opportunities that nobody asked for yet. You're fluent in the full Adobe suite, deeply comfortable with AI creative tools, and you understand how static design sets the tone for motion, environment, and experience even when you're not the one executing those elements.

You'll work across a high-output creative studio where planned campaigns and reactive projects exist side by side. You need range, speed, and the judgment to know when to refine and when to ship.
