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.

• Compliance & Authority Submissions
• Prepare and track submissions to authorities (COES, DNSP, metering, NBN, etc.).
• Maintain dashboards of key submission dates to ensure zero missed deadlines.
