Executive Assistant & Studio Operations (013-0785)

Looking for Philippines-based candidates

Job Role: Executive Assistant & Studio Operations

Compensation range: $2,200 AUD - $2,700 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 workplace design and architecture studio with studios in Melbourne and Sydney. They design workplaces that feel like they were made for the best days of people's working lives. They're not interested in cookie-cutter. They’re interested in what's right.

Their team is small, sharp, and commercially focused. Everyone here carries weight. If you like structure without bureaucracy, quality without ego, and genuinely want to be part of something being built with intention -- this is the right room.

Role Overview: We’re looking for a broad Executive Assistant and Operations role supporting the directors.. You'll own the rhythm of the studio -- keeping calendars moving, accounts ticking, and communications sharp. You'll be the connective tissue between our directors, our clients, and our suppliers.

Approximately three to four hours per week will be dedicated to supporting the Founder and Managing Director with personal asset management and property-related coordination. This sits within your working week, not on top of it.

This role is placed through a specialist firm, with ongoing support available. You won't be dropped in cold.
