Compensation range: $1,800 AUD - $2,000 AUD / Monthly

Work Schedule: This role is expected to align with the AU business hours (approx. 9 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 formally employed through an Employer of Record (EOR) arrangement. 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 established Australian consultancy that partners with organisations to strengthen leadership capability, workplace safety, and organisational performance. They design and deliver tailored learning experiences, strategic advisory services, and capability-building programs that create lasting behavioural change rather than one-off training outcomes.

Role Overview: The client is seeking an experienced Executive & Business Development Assistant to provide high-level support to the National Business Development Manager while assisting senior leaders across the business.

You'll play a key role in keeping business development activities moving by preparing proposals, managing client information, maintaining reports, coordinating meetings and travel, tracking sales opportunities, supporting LinkedIn outreach, and ensuring projects progress efficiently behind the scenes.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced professional services environment, has exceptional organisational skills, and enjoys supporting commercial growth through outstanding administration and coordination.
Probation Period: In the first 6 months, you can terminate your contract with us by giving two weeks’ notice, and we can do likewise. Post this period, you can terminate your contract with us and we can terminate with you by giving 8 weeks’ notice.
