Looking for Philippines-based candidates
Job Role: Fashion Designer & Product Developer
Compensation range: $1,200 AUD - $1,800 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: Our client is an Australian business that partners with entrepreneurs and established brands to bring innovative consumer products to market. By combining product strategy, creative development, and end-to-end production expertise, they help transform ideas into high-quality products across a range of lifestyle categories. Their collaborative, fast-paced environment is driven by innovation, precision, and a commitment to delivering exceptional products that meet evolving market demands.
Role Overview: We're looking for a Fashion Designer & Product Development Support Assistant to join a growing product team and provide hands-on support across both design and garment development.
