Looking for Philippines-based candidates Job Role: Senior Payroll Officer Compensation range: $1,800AUD - $3,000 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. Who The Client Is: A team of dedicated professionals driven by a single goal: delivering best-in-class solutions in concrete, civil and surface finishes—with a reputation for reliability, quality, and craft. Our roots are in structural and site works: think basements, slabs, suspended floors, decorative concrete, and hardscapes. Over the years we’ve built not just structures, but partnerships—by tackling complex projects, maintaining high safety standards, and staying committed to doing things the right way Role Overview: We are seeking an exceptional Senior Payroll Officer to join our high-performing team. This role offers the opportunity to take ownership of payroll operations, ensure compliance, and contribute to shaping best practices that drive us toward a “Gold Class” standard in payroll execution.

Investigate and resolve payroll-related queries via email and phone. Perform manual calculations and reconciliations, covering overtime, travel, allowances, superannuation, tax, and leave balances. Interpret awards (with a focus on the Miscellaneous and Clerical Award) to ensure correct application of entitlements. Collaborate with the finance team and other business units to provide payroll support. Contribute to continuous improvement by enhancing current processes and implementing new best practices. Handle ad-hoc payroll tasks as required. Required Skills and Qualifications: Minimum 5+ years of payroll experience, ideally within the Australian market. Strong end-to-end payroll expertise with proven knowledge of Australian payroll legislation and compliance. Demonstrated experience in award interpretation, particularly the Miscellaneous and Clerical Award. High attention to detail with the ability to manage complex calculations, reconciliations, and payroll reporting. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage effectively with stakeholders across the business. Ability to work autonomously while contributing as a collaborative team player. Proactive problem solver and compliance advocate with a continuous improvement mindset. Why Join Us? Opportunity to build a long-term career with fair pay and recognition. Join a supportive and collaborative remote team with room to grow. 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”)
