Job description

Looking for Filipino (Philippines-based) candidates

Job Role: Administrative Assistant

Compensation: $1,500 AUD/Month

Engagement type: Independent Contractor

Work Schedule: Full-time, 40 hours/week — must start at 10AM AEDT (7AM PH) to align with Australian business hours.

Who We Are:

At Hunt St, we help Australian companies directly hire top 5% remote talent in the Philippines. You will be hired directly by the client, typically as an independent contractor. We are not an outsourcing agency. All of our roles are 100% remote, so you'll be able to work from home.

Who The Client Is:

Our client is an Australian financial services firm specialising in mortgage and lending support. They are currently refining their operations and seeking a highly reliable assistant to replace an existing PH-based VA due to reliability concerns.

They prefer someone who:

• has prior experience supporting mortgage brokers (but not necessarily full parabroker experience)
• can work consistently and with strong attention to detail
• is dependable and able to work aligned with AU hours

About the Role

The client is looking for a detail-oriented, reliable, and experienced Administrative Assistant to handle day-to-day mortgage broking administration. This includes admin processing, bank follow-ups, pricing requests, and general mortgage broking admin. As the assistant becomes familiar with the workflow, they may eventually take on light application handling.

This role is ideal for someone who has already supported a mortgage broker or worked in a broker‑assistant VA capacity and understands the basics of mortgage admin and lender processes.

Key Responsibilities

• Handle daily mortgage broking admin tasks assigned by the broker
• Conduct bank follow-ups for documents, pending requirements, and application status
• Process pricing requests based on lender and broker instructions
• Maintain accurate client and loan documentation
• Assist with general admin processing for loan lodgment
• Provide structured updates and reliable task follow-through
• Support the broker with light application handling over time
• Communicate professionally with lenders and internal teams via email
• Keep digital records organised and updated
• Ensure workflow timelines, follow-ups, and deadlines are consistently met

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• 1–3+ years experience supporting Australian mortgage brokers (e.g., Broker Assistant, VA, Loan Admin)
• Strong accuracy and attention to detail
• Proven reliability in previous remote roles
• Experience in lender communication, documentation tracking, and basic loan admin
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills
• Ability to follow structured processes and work independently
• Familiarity with aggregator systems — AFG experience is a plus but NOT required

Work Arrangement & Expectations:

This is a remote role that will be set up as an independent contractor engagement.

To ensure alignment and transparency, successful candidates will be expected to:

• Disclose any existing ongoing roles or client work
• Reflect this engagement on their LinkedIn profile (clearly marked as “Independent Contractor”)
