SEO Lead (005-00241)

​​Looking for Filipino (Philippines-based) candidates

Job Role: SEO Lead

Compensation range: 1,700 - 2,500 AUD/month

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: The client is a next-generation SEO and performance agency that specialises in working with premium brands in fashion, beauty, luxury, and hospitality. With a unique blend of cultural insight, strategic thinking, and advanced AI tools, the agency delivers SEO solutions that not only improve visibility but also strengthen brand value.

Built on the belief that SEO should be as thoughtful, creative, and brand-enhancing as any other marketing discipline, the team takes a holistic, brand-first approach, treating SEO as a powerful storytelling and growth tool, not just a backend task.

Role Overview: As SEO Lead, you’ll drive strategy and execution across a portfolio of high-end clients. You’ll lead everything from technical audits to AI-powered content strategy, overseeing day-to-day performance while ensuring each brand's digital presence is elevated, consistent, and culturally attuned. You’ll manage a small remote team and work closely with content, development, and client teams to deliver best-in-class outcomes. Given the remote nature of this role, strong communication and clear workflow management are essential.
