Who We Are: At Hunt St, we help Australian companies hire top remote talent in the Philippines.. You will be hired 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 premium distributor partnering with professional haircare brands that are known for innovation, quality, and sustainability.

You’ll also build the business’s TikTok presence from the ground up and support the founder’s LinkedIn content. Working closely with the in-house marketing team, you’ll help maintain consistent brand identities, grow engagement with hairdressers and salon owners, and use creative ideas and AI tools to improve content. As the business grows, there may be opportunities to take on broader marketing responsibilities.
