Compensation range: $2,000 AUD - $2,500 AUD / Monthly

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

Our client is an Australian-based premium distributor partnering with professional haircare brands that are known for innovation, quality, and sustainability. Rather than simply supplying products, they focus on helping salon owners and stylists grow thriving businesses through education, support, and long-term partnerships.

Working closely with creative professionals across the industry, they champion brands that inspire artistry, encourage individuality, and deliver meaningful results. Their mission is to empower salon businesses to achieve greater success—both creatively and commercially—by providing the tools, knowledge, and support needed to grow with confidence.

Role Overview

We're looking for a proactive and highly organized Operations and Admin Coordinator to support the day-to-day operations of a growing Australian business. This role combines inventory management, reporting and analytics, supplier coordination, and executive support, making it ideal for someone who enjoys both operational detail and business administration.

You'll play a key role in maintaining accurate inventory records, generating business insights through reporting, supporting purchasing and forecasting activities, and helping the founder stay organized and focused on strategic priorities. This is an opportunity to become a trusted member of a collaborative team where your work will directly contribute to business growth and operational excellence.

• Coordinate calendar scheduling, meeting prep, and follow-ups on behalf of the founder
• Draft correspondence, prepare briefing notes, and handle ad hoc administrative requests
• Track action items, deadlines, and priorities across active projects
• Book flights and other logistical travel needs

Requirements

• Solid organisational skills with strong attention to detail
• Analytical mindset — you enjoy digging into numbers to find patterns and improvements
• Proactive, solutions-driven attitude — if you see a better way, you speak up

Nice to Have
