Who We Are: At Hunt St, we help Australian companies hire top remote talent in the Philippines. For this role, you will be engaged directly by the client as an independent contractor. We are not an outsourcing agency.

• Proven experience managing multiple departments and leading teams of 30+ employees
• Strong leadership, coaching, and people management skills
• Experience working with Australian businesses is highly desirable

• Strong understanding of KPI management, workforce planning, and operational improvement
• Proficiency with project management and collaboration tools such as Asana, Monday.com, ClickUp, Trello, Jira, or similar platforms
• Strong knowledge of Microsoft Office 365 or Google Workspace
• Excellent communication, organisational, and problem solving skills
• Ability to work Australian business hours and lead a remote team effectively
• Must be willing to work onsite from the Makati office, where the Philippine team of approximately 30 employees is based.

• Be available for meetings and collaboration during core [AEST or PHT] business hours
• Disclose any existing ongoing roles or client work
• Reflect this engagement on their LinkedIn profile (clearly marked as "Independent Contractor")
