Compensation range: $1,500 - 2,000 AUD / Monthly

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.

By focusing solely on high-stakes matters, we provide sharper strategies, clearer processes, and more predictable outcomes for our clients.

Key Responsibilities: 

• Monitor the financial and time data of all active legal matters daily.
• Ensure each project is progressing according to its budget and timeline.
• Liaise directly with lawyers and the CFO to identify inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement.
• Provide timely updates to lawyers and clients regarding project financial status.
• Track estimates, forecasts, and actuals, flagging discrepancies early.
• Champion accountability across the team by “rallying the troops” when needed.
• Analyse trends in write-offs and implement strategies to reduce them.
• Maintain dashboards or reports that clearly show project health and performance.

• At least 3 years of experience relevant to the role.
• Experience in project management, legal operations, or professional services is highly desirable.
• Familiarity with time-tracking and billing systems is a plus.
• Strong affinity for numbers, data, and financial analysis.
• Excel proficiency and experience with Power BI
• Excellent attention to detail and organisational skills.
• Comfortable working with legal professionals and financial systems.
• Proactive communicator who enjoys working collaboratively with a team.

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”)
