HR Specialist The Role Our HR Operations team is looking for an HR Specialist, EMEA to help deliver a high-quality, responsive, and increasingly scalable employee experience across the region. This role goes beyond processing transactions and answering HR queries. You will be a trusted point of contact across the employee lifecycle, using strong judgment, critical thinking, data, systems, and technology to solve employee needs while continually looking for ways to make the underlying process better. You will be expected to understand the why behind the work, recognize when something does not make sense, investigate issues before escalating, and bring forward solutions. As Axon grows, you will help us simplify, standardize, automate, and improve how HR Operations supports our employees and managers across EMEA. What You'll Do • Own day-to-day HR support across the employee lifecycle, providing accurate, timely, and employee-focused service across EMEA. • Manage employee lifecycle activity including starters, leavers, contractual changes, pay-related changes, redundancy processes, medical severance calculations, and employee data changes. • Own employee requests through resolution rather than simply completing one step in a process, reducing unnecessary handoffs and ensuring employees and managers understand what happens next. • Apply strong judgment to complex, sensitive, or time-critical situations and understand when issues require escalation to HR Business Partners or senior stakeholders. • Review information critically rather than processing it mechanically. Identify inconsistencies, validate source information, investigate issues, and raise potential risks before action is taken. • Maintain exceptional accuracy and data integrity across HR systems, documentation, employee records, and case management, ensuring activity meets GDPR, governance, audit, and internal policy requirements. • Identify recurring employee questions, process breakdowns, duplicate work, manual handoffs, or areas of unnecessary complexity and recommend practical solutions. • Support continuous improvement initiatives that simplify processes, strengthen controls, improve employee experience, and increase the scalability of HR Operations. • Use reporting and operational data to identify trends, investigate root causes, and support informed People and business decisions. • Produce accurate standard and ad hoc reporting and contribute to audits, controls, and data-quality reviews. • Support regional and cross-functional HR projects, including organizational changes, system implementations, process changes, and other large-scale employee lifecycle initiatives. • Maintain clear, accurate HR knowledge, process documentation, guides, and employee-facing content while continuously identifying opportunities to strengthen manager and employee self-service. • Help onboard and cross-train team members, reduce single points of failure, and contribute to a culture where the success of the broader team matters as much as individual performance.
