Job Role: Executive Assistant
Compensation range: $1,400 - 1,600 AUD / Monthly
Engagement type: Independent Contractor Agreement
Work Schedule: 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM AEST
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 an electrical services provider offering residential and property maintenance solutions, including installations, repairs, and emergency callouts. They support homeowners, property managers, and real estate portfolios with reliable, safety-focused electrical work, emphasizing prompt service, transparent pricing, and high-quality workmanship.
Role Overview: We are looking for a highly reliable and proactive Executive Assistant to support a fast-paced electrical services business. This is not a basic admin role — we need someone who takes ownership, communicates confidently, and actively supports both operations and revenue through follow-ups and client interaction. This role is ideal for someone who wants to be more than just a task-taker — you’ll be a key operator in the business, contributing to both day-to-day operations and revenue growth.
Key Responsibilities:
- Process incoming job requests and create job cards in the job management system (5–10-minute tasks)
- Manage email inboxes, ensuring timely responses and organization
- Post jobs, coordinate schedules, and notify the team accordingly
- Follow detailed SOPs (step-by-step guides and videos) to ensure consistency
- Provide phone support when required (client inquiries, bookings, follow-ups)
- Assist with sales support, including quote follow-ups and helping convert leads into booked jobs
- Take initiative to support the business with additional tasks (e.g., basic content updates, admin improvements)
Requirements
- Availability & Responsiveness (Non-Negotiable): Fully aligned with Sydney business hours, consistently reachable, and responsive — like an in-office team member
- Proven Reliability: Strong track record in remote work with no unexplained gaps or multitasking across multiple jobs
- Professional Setup: Stable high-speed internet and a quiet, distraction-free work environment
- Confident Communication: Strong spoken and written English; comfortable calling clients, asking questions, and speaking up proactively
- Sales Mindset: Willing and confident in following up quotes, handling bookings, and closing jobs
- Proactive & Self-Starting: Does not wait for instructions — actively looks for ways to add value when core tasks are complete
- Commercial Awareness: Understands the importance of follow-ups and how admin and communication impact revenue
Work Arrangement & Expectations:
This is a remote role that will be set up as an independent contractor engagement.
To ensure alignment and transparency, successful candidates will be expected to:
- Disclose any existing ongoing roles or client work
- Reflect this engagement on their LinkedIn profile (clearly marked as “Independent Contractor”)
