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.

• Develop a strong understanding of the client's processes, expectations, and project requirements.
• Progress toward working independently and managing day-to-day responsibilities with minimal supervision.

• Ability to understand and interpret technical documentation.
• Strong organisational and time-management skills.
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of assigned responsibilities.
• Proactive approach to problem-solving and day-to-day work.
