​​Looking for Filipino (Philippines-based) candidates

Job Role: Social Media Manager

Full Time: Independent Contractor

Salary Budget: Full-Time: $1500 - $2500

Work Schedule: Availability during AU business hours (approx. 9 AM – 5 PM, Monday to Friday) is preferred for collaboration, with flexibility in how you manage your time as a contractor.

Who We Are: At Hunt St we help Australian companies directly hire top 5% remote talent in the Philippines. You will be hired directly by the client, typically 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:  A biotech startup dedicated to improving quality of life by decoding your biological data to provide personalised supplement, nutrition and lifestyle recommendations. With strong backgrounds in biochemistry, molecular biology and data sciences, the founders and directors recognised the power of nutrition in improving health outcomes and the importance of tailoring strategies to individual needs.

The company was founded to address the challenges individuals face in accessing and interpreting health data. By combining cutting-edge microbiome and metabolic testing with personalised analysis and recommendations it offers integrated, science-backed at-home tests and subscription programs that are convenient, affordable, and accessible. By undertaking sequential testing over a 12 month period, customers can use the insights provided as a forecasting tool to help identify the possible onset of chronic disease and the steps required to mitigate it.
