Operations Coordinator / Executive Assistant (Pro-Level) - (017-0732)

​​Looking for Philippines-based candidates

Job Role: Operations Coordinator / Executive Assistant (Pro-Level)

Compensation range: $2,000 – $3,000 AUD/month (based on experience and capability)

Engagement type: Independent Contractor Agreement with the possibility of transitioning into an EOR setup

Work Schedule: This role is expected to align with the AU business hours (approx. 8 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 growing solar retailer operating across Sydney and Adelaide, delivering end-to-end solar solutions, from quoting and scheduling to on-site coordination and post-install support. With a lean and fast-moving team, they run a strong tech stack and value people who can work autonomously, stay organised under pressure, and keep things moving efficiently without micromanagement.

Role Overview: This role is fast-paced and operationally critical. You will be responsible for keeping installs, communication, and data running smoothly across multiple moving parts. Success in this role requires strong ownership, attention to detail, and the ability to stay organised under pressure without constant direction.

  • Provide direct operational support to the business owner, including team coordination and task management
  • Serve as a key point of contact between the director and team, ensuring alignment, accountability, and clear communication
  • Develop, implement, and continuously improve internal processes, systems, and workflows to support scalability
  • Build and maintain dashboards, spreadsheets, and reporting tools to track performance and operations
  • Implement automations (Zapier/Make) to reduce manual work, improve data accuracy, and streamline workflows
  • Identify operational bottlenecks and proactively implement solutions
  • Monitor and manage the customer journey from sale through to installation completion, ensuring a high-quality experience
  • Assist with general administration and process management using tools such as Notion and Google Sheets

Required Skills and Qualifications:

  • Proven experience in operations, admin, or EA roles, ideally in fast-paced or trade/service businesses
  • Strong experience working with CRMs (Pipedrive preferred), automation tools (Zapier/Make), and operational systems such as Google Sheets, Slack, and calendar management tools
  • Excellent English communication skills, written and verbal; confident in client-facing interactions
  • Highly organized with strong attention to detail, especially around data accuracy
  • Ability to work autonomously and manage multiple priorities simultaneously
  • Resilient under pressure, capable of adapting quickly in a dynamic environment
  • Availability during AEST business hours (approx. 8 AM – 5 PM), with occasional early starts

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience in solar, renewable energy, or related service businesses
  • Experience with workflow automation tools

What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)

  • Installation schedules are consistently accurate and well-coordinated
  • CRM and job data are clean, up-to-date, and reliable
  • Communication between sales, installers, and operations is seamless
  • Stock and materials are always prepared ahead of install dates
  • Bottlenecks are identified early and resolved proactively

Why Apply

  • Full-time, long-term engagement with a growing Australian solar business
