Looking for Philippines-based candidates
Job Role: Sales Assistant
Compensation range: $1,500 AUD - $2,000 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 Australian-based distribution business supplying premium outdoor, sporting and specialist equipment through a growing network of retailers across the country.
The business works with established international manufacturers and supports its dealer network through product knowledge, sales support, marketing, training and responsive customer service. With a strong focus on quality, reliability and long-term relationships, the team has built a growing presence in the Australian market.
This is a hands-on and fast-moving environment where attention to detail, clear communication and strong organisation are highly valued. The Sales Assistant will work closely with the sales team, helping them stay organised, manage customer communication, maintain accurate information and support the day-to-day running of the sales function.
