Chief of Staff

Axon • San Francisco, CA

1d • $126,600 - $202,560 • Hybrid

About The Position

The Chief of Staff to Axon's COO/CFO is a high-output role that sits at the center of both the company's financial strategy and global operations- a scope that necessitates sounds judgment, strategic planning, and the ability to move fast without losing detail. In this role, you will manage a high volume of competing priorities with precision. You will work directly with the COO/CFO to translate information into insights, advise on action, and translate complex financial and operational context into clear direction for the teams you work with. This is a role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, has operated in demanding environments, and knows how to bring structure to complexity.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in a high-performance environment- investment banking, management consulting, corporate finance, or a prior Chief of Staff role in a large technology or financial services organization
• A strong finance foundation- you understand financial statements, operating models, and how financial decisions connect to business outcomes
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; you can write a tight board narrative, a crisp all-hands script, and a clear executive email- and you know the difference between all three
• High comfort operating without a clear playbook. You define your own priorities, manage up effectively, and know when to ask for direction versus when to just move
• A natural collaborator with strong executive presence
• Superb organizational instincts. You run multiple workstreams in parallel, nothing falls through the cracks, and you make the people around you sharper
• Deep discretion and sound judgment; you handle sensitive information with maturity and represent the office of the COO/CFO with professionalism at every level

Nice To Haves

• Prior Chief of Staff experience strongly preferred; candidates with equivalent operational and strategic exposure at the executive level will be considered
• A commitment to leveraging AI for good and experience working with tools like Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT

Responsibilities

• Serve as a strategic thought partner to the COO/CFO, helping to set priorities, sharpen decisions, and ensure alignment across finance and operations leadership
• Own and orchestrate key operating cadences- including M/QBRs, leadership offsites, hackathons, org-wide engagement, and cross-functional planning- ensuring they are purposeful, well-prepared, and drive real outcomes
• Lead preparation of board materials, earnings communications, and executive presentations, synthesizing complex financial and operational narratives into clear, compelling content
• Manage internal and external media engagements for the CFO/COO, including media interviews, conference appearances, customer events, and other public-facing moments
• Drive internal communications and organizational engagement on behalf of the CFO/COO- including authoring newsletters, content-creating, coordinating quarterly all-hands, and designing creative ways to recognize and engage with a diverse organization
• Act as a force multiplier across the C-suite and business unit leadership: anticipating needs, connecting dots across functions, and keeping high-priority initiatives moving
• Identify and close organizational gaps- whether in process, communication, or execution- before they become problems

Benefits

• Base Pay Range $126,600—$202,560 USD
• Our benefits offer an array of options to help support you physically, financially and emotionally through the big milestones and in your everyday life.
