Job Description

Looking for Philippines-based candidates

Job Role: AI Automation and Systems Integration Specialist

Compensation range: $2,000 AUD - $2,500 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 an emerging consultancy focused on helping organisations that own existing building facility assets transition toward more sustainable, efficient, and data-driven operations particularly within the energy and built environment sectors.

Operating at the intersection of technology, data, and innovation, the business uses digital tools, automation, and business intelligence to improve decision-making, streamline operations, and support scalable growth. As a solo founder-led business in its early stage, the client is seeking a long-term technical partner to help design and build its entire digital operating system from the ground up.

We are seeking a proactive AI Automation and Systems Integration Specialist to work directly with the founder in building an intelligent, automated, and scalable business environment.

This is a hands-on role focused on Power BI development, AI-driven automation, systems integration, and digital operations support. You will design, implement, and continuously improve tools, workflows, and data systems that improve efficiency and decision-making.

You will serve as the technical backbone of the business by translating business needs into practical automated solutions. The role requires strong problem-solving skills, independence, and the ability to work effectively in ambiguity.

This is a full-time, non-client-facing position working closely with a senior stakeholder in a remote setup. The ideal candidate is proactive, highly accountable, and able to identify and build improvements independently.

This is a foundational role with a strong opportunity to shape how the business operates and scales.
