Looking for Philippines-based candidates

Job Role: AI Automation and Operations Coordinator

Compensation range: $1,500 AUD - $2,000 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 trusted provider of electrical and electronic security solutions, servicing commercial and construction clients across Melbourne. The business delivers projects ranging from minor works to large-scale construction, with a strong focus on quality workmanship, safety, compliance, and industry standards. Its expertise spans a diverse range of sectors, including data centres, fulfilment and distribution, pharmaceuticals, entertainment, education, aviation, and correctional facilities.

Role Overview: Our client is seeking an AI Automation and Operations Coordinator to identify and implement opportunities to improve business efficiency through AI, automation, and better systems.

The role combines hands-on AI implementation with process improvement and day-to-day administration. The successful candidate will map existing workflows, identify opportunities to reduce manual work, build practical automations, and support routine administrative tasks to keep business operations running smoothly.

This is suited to someone who can build AI-powered solutions, connect business systems, and take ownership of improving how work gets done.

• Document workflows, systems, and standard operating procedures.
• Monitor implemented automations, troubleshoot issues, and refine workflows.
• Work with stakeholders to understand operational challenges and deliver practical solutions.
• Evaluate AI tools and emerging technologies that could improve business performance.

Administrative Support

Requirements
