Looking for Philippines-based candidates

Job Role: Operations AI Automation Specialist

Compensation range: $1,500 to $2,200 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 fast-growing Australian business operating within the construction and building solutions industry. With a strong focus on innovation and operational excellence, they are investing heavily in AI-driven technologies to transform the way they market, sell, and deliver projects. Rather than adopting off-the-shelf solutions, the business is building custom AI workflows and automation systems across multiple departments to improve efficiency, streamline sales operations, and create a competitive advantage. This is an opportunity to join a business that embraces emerging technologies and encourages continuous improvement.

Role Overview: We're looking for an Operations AI Automation Specialist who combines strong operational experience with a genuine passion for AI and automation. Unlike traditional automation roles that focus purely on technical development, this position requires someone who understands how businesses actually operate. You'll work closely with the business owner to identify operational bottlenecks, redesign workflows, and implement AI-powered solutions that improve efficiency across administration, project management, customer service, and internal operations.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Analyze existing business processes and identify opportunities to automate repetitive operational tasks.
  • Design, build, and continuously improve AI-powered workflows using modern automation platforms.
  • Collaborate directly with the business owner to turn operational ideas into practical AI solutions.
  • Develop and maintain automations across project management, administration, customer communications, and internal workflows.
  • Build and optimize workflows within ClickUp, including project templates, automations, dashboards, and milestone tracking.
  • Research and test emerging AI tools to identify opportunities that improve productivity and business performance.
  • Document processes, workflows, and automation logic to ensure systems remain scalable and maintainable.
  • Monitor automation performance and recommend ongoing improvements.
  • Assist with implementing AI-powered customer communication tools, including voice AI and conversational AI applications.
  • Provide operational support across various business functions as new systems are introduced.

Requirements

Required Skills and Qualifications:

  • 2+ years of experience in operations, administration, business support, project coordination, or process improvement.
  • Strong understanding of how operational workflows function within a growing business.
  • Demonstrated experience using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, or similar to improve work efficiency.
  • Experience building automations using platforms such as Make.com, Zapier, n8n, or similar no-code/low-code automation tools.
  • Experience with ClickUp or comparable project management platforms.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to simplify complex workflows.
  • Excellent written and verbal English communication skills.
  • Highly organised with strong attention to detail.
  • Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
  • Proactive mindset with a willingness to continuously learn new AI technologies.

Highly Desirable:

  • Experience implementing AI agents or conversational AI.
  • Familiarity with APIs and connecting different software platforms.
  • Experience with CRM, project management, or business operations systems.
  • Basic understanding of prompt engineering and AI workflow design.
  • Experience documenting SOPs and operational processes.
  • Exposure to the construction, manufacturing, property, or related industries is advantageous but not essential.

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”)
