Description

Looking for Philippines-based candidates

Job Role: Business Automation & Systems Specialist (Zoho, PHP, AI)

Compensation range: $2,000 - $3,000 AUD Monthly

Engagement type: Full-time, Independent Contractor Agreement

Work Schedule: This role is expected to align with the AU business hours (approx. 9:00AM - 6:00 PM, Monday to Friday) for collaboration.

Location: Remote, Philippines

Department: Recruitment

Employment type: Full-time

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. All of our roles are 100% remote so you'll be able to work from home.

Who The Client Is: The client is an Australian-based software company specialising in digital forensics, eDiscovery, and information-governance technology. They develop software that helps organisations search, analyse, and manage large volumes of electronic data for areas such as legal matters, investigations, compliance, and cybersecurity. Their products are used by enterprises, financial institutions, government agencies, and law-enforcement organisations.

Role Overview: This isn't your typical developer role. We're looking for a MacGyver-type problem solver who can connect systems, build clever solutions, and make complex business processes run seamlessly. The ideal candidate is someone who combines technical capability with curiosity, initiative, and a strong mindset.

In this role, they'll be responsible for building and managing the company website using PHP, automating financial and marketing workflows through Zoho and automated invoicing, configuring AI prompts, and developing smart chatbots that improve business productivity and operational efficiency. Formal qualifications are important, but practical capability, adaptability, and the ability to independently solve problems are equally valued.
