Looking for Philippines-based candidates
Job Role: Senior Credit Analyst
Compensation range: PHP 110,000 AUD - PHP 140,000 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.

Our approach focuses on simplifying complex financial decisions and creating practical pathways toward greater financial security and lifestyle flexibility.
We work closely with clients across a broad range of areas, including financial planning, lending support, wealth creation strategies, business advisory, and retirement preparation. By taking a holistic approach, we aim to provide solutions that align with both short-term priorities and long-term goals.
