Looking for Philippines-based candidates
Job Role: Business Operations Lead
Compensation range: $2,500 AUD - $3,500 AUD / Monthly
Engagement type: Independent Contractor Agreement
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 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 a creative solutions provider that supports businesses with customized branded materials, managing the process from concept to delivery. They focus on quality, efficiency, and thoughtful execution to help companies strengthen brand presence and engagement.
Role Overview:
This role sits at the intersection of strategy and execution. You’ll work closely with leadership to turn priorities into scalable workflows, operational systems, SOPs, and cross-functional initiatives that help the business run more effectively as we scale.
We’re not looking for a traditional “project tracker.” We’re looking for someone who can deeply immerse themselves in the business, identify operational gaps, coordinate execution across teams, and drive initiatives from idea to implementation.
Key Responsibilities:
Cross-functional project execution
Lead operational initiatives across different parts of the business — from workflow improvements and systems rollouts to process redesigns and implementation projects.
Operational process improvement
Map, document, improve, and operationalize internal workflows across departments. Identify friction points, inefficiencies, and breakdowns — then help solve them with scalable processes and clear ownership.
SOPs & operational documentation
Build and maintain SOPs, playbooks, process maps, and internal operating documentation to improve consistency, onboarding, accountability, and scalability.
Business systems implementation
Partner with teams across sales, production, finance, marketing, and operations to help implement new tools, workflows, automations, and process improvements. This may include working alongside developers, RevOps, or external vendors on operational rollouts.
Cross-department coordination
Act as an operational connector across teams — ensuring projects move forward, blockers are surfaced early, stakeholders stay aligned, and priorities translate into execution.
Operational visibility & accountability
Develop a strong understanding of how the business operates day-to-day. Stay close to workflows and teams to proactively identify gaps, inefficiencies, recurring issues, and opportunities for improvement.
Initiative management & follow-through
Help leadership drive company-wide priorities by creating structure around timelines, ownership, dependencies, risks, and execution.

5+ years experience in Business Operations, Operations, Project Management, Consulting, Chief of Staff, Implementation, or a similar cross-functional role
Strong operational and systems thinking
Experience managing projects across multiple stakeholders and departments
Comfortable working in ambiguity and fast-moving environments
Strong process mapping and documentation skills
Excellent organizational and follow-through capabilities
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
Highly proactive and resourceful — someone who naturally identifies gaps and drives action
Able to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution
Experience in startups, agencies, consulting firms, SaaS, ecommerce, or operationally complex businesses is highly valued
Bonus Points If You Have
● Experience building SOPs and operational playbooks
● Experience implementing operational systems or workflows
● Familiarity with tools like Monday.com, Notion, Zapier, Make, Airtable, or similar platforms
