HR Generalist - Immediate Start! in London

We're explorers, pursuing society's most critical safety and justice issues with our ecosystem of devices and cloud software. We connect with candor and care, seeking out diverse perspectives from our customers, communities and each other.

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.

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.
• Apply strong judgment to complex, sensitive, or time-critical situations and understand when issues require escalation to HR Business Partners or senior stakeholders.
• 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.

AI, Technology & the Future of HR Operations

We expect our HR Specialists to actively participate in how HR work evolves. You will use approved AI and technology responsibly to improve the quality, speed, and scalability of your work. This may include using AI to synthesize information, support research and documentation, identify patterns, improve knowledge content, or accelerate structured problem solving. Protect confidential and sensitive employee information and follow applicable data-handling requirements. Identify repetitive or manual work that could be simplified, automated, or redesigned.

What We're Looking For

• Approximately 2–4+ years of relevant HR, HR Operations, Shared Services, employee support, or comparable experience, with demonstrated capability more important than tenure alone.
• Understanding of the employee lifecycle and experience independently managing moderately complex HR activity.
• Experience working in a fast-paced, high-volume HR or Shared Services environment.
• Strong working knowledge of HR policies, processes, data confidentiality, and GDPR requirements.
• Excellent attention to detail and demonstrated ability to maintain accurate employee data and documentation.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to prioritize competing work based on urgency, employee impact, risk, and business need.
• Strong analytical capability, including experience producing reports, reviewing data, and using insights to identify operational improvements.
• Confidence using HR systems, case management or ticketing platforms, reporting tools, and Microsoft Excel.
• Experience identifying process improvements, developing documentation, improving workflows, or participating in HR transformation or technology initiatives.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain complex HR information clearly and build trust with employees, managers, and HR partners.
• Curiosity and learning agility, with a willingness to learn new systems, technologies, processes, and areas of HR.

A strong EMEA HR Specialist asks: We are building an HR Operations organization that combines strong execution with judgment, employee empathy, operational excellence, AI fluency, and continuous improvement. The people who thrive here will help us build what HR Operations needs to become, not simply maintain how it works today. We think big with a long-term view because we want to reinvent the world to be a safer, better place. We are also committed to building diverse teams that reflect the communities we serve.

We're committed to hiring the best talent — regardless of race, creed, color, ancestry, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship status, marital status, disability, gender identity, genetic information, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations and ordinances — and empowering all of our employees so they can do their best work.
