​​Looking for Philippines-based candidates

Job Role: Business Operations & Growth Manager

Compensation range: $3,000 - $3,5000 AUD / Monthly

Engagement type: Independent Contractor Agreement

Work Schedule: This role is expected to align with the AU business hours (approx. 8 AM - 5 PM, Monday to Friday) for collaboration, but as a contractor, you’ll have flexibility in how you manage your 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: This organization is a hub for technology education, esports, game development, and digital creativity in the Northern Territory. It delivers programs that help young people, professionals, and the broader community learn technical skills, build projects, and participate in the global tech and creative industries.

Its work spans youth education programs, industry training, coworking, community events, and game development initiatives. The organization collaborates closely with schools, government, and industry partners to help Territorians develop future-ready digital skills and creative careers.

Role Overview: We are seeking an experienced Business Operations & Marketing Manager to work directly with the CEO and take ownership of both the company's operations and marketing function.

This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who enjoys building systems, improving processes, and driving execution across the business. You will oversee marketing strategy, operational improvements, internal systems, and cross-functional projects while helping the CEO scale the organization.

Rather than waiting for direction, you'll identify priorities, solve problems, and take ownership of initiatives from planning through execution. Success in this role will be measured by your ability to improve operational efficiency, strengthen marketing performance, and reduce founder dependency through better systems and processes.

• Strong understanding of AI tools including ChatGPT and Claude.
• Experience with Asana, Google Workspace, and modern collaboration tools.
• Excellent written and verbal English.
• Comfortable working directly with founders or senior executives.

• Communicates proactively and keeps projects moving.
• Uses AI to improve productivity while maintaining quality.
• Enjoys solving business problems and continuously improving processes.
