No. Axios is Remote-First, and most of its roles are posted as remote within the United States, but some are tied to a specific metro. Local advertising sales is the clearest case: those postings say in-market presence is essential because the role is built on local relationships. The only physical office Axios names on its job board is its headquarters in Arlington, Virginia.
Rarely. Axios hires almost entirely within the United States: its postings scope pay ranges to locations within the U.S., and remote roles are listed as U.S.-based. The exceptions are occasional reporting roles tied to covering a specific region abroad. Within the country, some roles narrow further to a region, such as the East Coast, or to a particular local market.
Pay is location-based by stated policy. Axios says its "compensation philosophy takes into account the cost of labor differentials across the country," so the range on a posting is one national envelope and the portion you are eligible for depends on where in the United States you live. Expect wide posted ranges for that reason.
Axios's job postings list a 401(k) with employer match, PPO and high-deductible health plans with an employer HSA contribution, dental and vision coverage, 12 weeks of paid primary caregiver leave, one mental health day per quarter, an annual learning and development stipend, and a $100 monthly work-from-home stipend. There is also the Axios Family Fund, which employees can request financial support from when facing hardship or emergencies.
Axios publishes three employee values: "Axios first: Put colleagues and the cause above yourself. Humility wins," "Excellence always: Hunger to be the very best at what you do," and "Candor: Be candid, respectful and maintain a high degree of integrity." Candor also appears in the company's own value set, defined there as remaining "direct and candid in respectful but unambiguous ways with the audience and each other."
