Part-time Virtual Assistant / E-commerce Assistant (004 - 0419)

​​Looking for Philippines-based candidates

Job Role: Virtual Assistant / E-commerce Assistant (004 - 00419)

Work Schedule: Flexible, with some overlap during AU business hours

Compensation range: up to 700 - 800 AUD / Month

Contract Type: Independent Contractor Agreement; Full-Time; Remote

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: The client is a sanctuary for mindfulness and connection, offering a unique approach to the art of tea. They create experiences that blend ritual, calm, and community, transforming the simple act of making and sharing tea into moments of reflection and presence. Every detail, from carefully selected teas to handcrafted teaware, is designed to deepen the experience and bring a sense of peace to those who participate.

Their mission is to provide a space where individuals can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and enjoy the soothing benefits of tea in a mindful environment. Whether for learning, practice, or simply a quiet retreat from daily life, the client fosters an atmosphere of warmth, intention, and mindful living.

Role Overview: We are looking for a proactive, highly organised, initiative-driven Virtual Assistant who thrives in a dynamic small-business environment. This is not a “wait to be told” admin job — it’s a role for someone who anticipates needs, notices gaps, solves problems before they become issues, and wants to grow with the business.

This role is a core part of our operational backbone. You will manage our communication ecosystem, bookings, e-commerce, course platforms, and digital customer experience. Over time, you may help build SOPs, streamline internal systems, and potentially step into a leadership or team-coordinator position as the business expands.

We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys improving things, creating order, and helping a young brand grow.

Key Responsibilities:

Multi-Channel Communication (Primary Focus)

• Manage and respond to messages across three inboxes

Bookings & Customer Support

• Manage the Momence booking platform:

Email Marketing (Omnisend)

• Document internal processes as you learn them.
• Help us build clear, repeatable SOPs for inbox, bookings, Shopify, social responses, admin tasks, etc.
• Identify inefficiencies and propose improvements.
• Take ownership in stabilising systems as we scale.

Light Personal Assistant Support

• Manage Samuel’s calendar (meetings, reminders, appointments).
• Draft simple communications or WhatsApp group messages.
• Help manage follow-up tasks and reminders.

Lead Generation & Research
