Job Description
Job Role: Salesforce Technical Consultant
Compensation range: $3,000 AUD - $4,000 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: The client partners with individuals going through sensitive family-related legal issues by covering legal expenses upfront. Their models looks at the strengths of each case rather than someone's financial background, allowing them to provide support quickly.
Role Overview: This is a key role in our team building our new core business platform on Salesforce. You will help shape our future, with an immediate focus on improving functionality, delivering enhancements, fixes, debugging, support and crucial data analysis. By investigating issues and strengthening our current system, you'll lay the groundwork for our next phase of innovation. You engage directly with key business stakeholders, learn from a high-performing team in a supportive environment and manage your work directly through Jira. As a Salesforce technical consultant, you will be part consultant, part developer, be comfortable working with business stakeholders and understanding the underlying requirements, and be very familiar with the Salesforce platform, common patterns and best practices.
Key Responsibilities:
* Collaborate with stakeholders to define requirements for platform enhancements and fixes.
* Perform debugging, root cause analysis, and resolve technical issues on the Salesforce platform.
* Investigate and resolve data discrepancies to ensure data integrity.
* Deliver solutions using declarative Salesforce tools (Flow, Validation Rules, Permissions).
* Undertake light Apex and customisation as needed.
* Support and troubleshoot system integrations.
* Manage your workload and priorities using Jira.
* Document fixes, technical findings, and best practices.
* 5+ years proven experience in a Salesforce support, analyst, or consultant role.
* Strong analytical, problem-solving, debugging skills and communication skills.
* Comfortable communicating directly with stakeholders to understand requirements, manage expectations and share findings.
* Anticipate business needs beyond what's explicitly specified in the requirements.
* Proficient with Salesforce declarative tools, especially Flow.
* Basic to intermediate skills in Apex and/or Lightning Web Components (LWC).
* Experience with Jira or similar project management tools.
* Familiarity with our wider tech stack is highly regarded, including CI/CD (e.g. Gearset), version control (e.g. GitHub), OmniStudio, JotForm, HubSpot, Slack, AWS S3 and Dialpad.
* A proactive learner, keen to grow your career in a collaborative team.
* Must have Salesforce Administrator and either Platform Developer I (PD1) or equivalent certification(s).
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")
Tips for South African Applicants
Timezone Advantage
South Africa (SAST, UTC+2) overlaps well with European business hours and has a few hours of overlap with US East Coast. Mention your timezone flexibility in your application.
Salary in Context
Even without a listed salary, international remote roles typically pay 2-3x more than equivalent local positions in South Africa due to the exchange rate advantage.
Application Tips
Tailor your CV to international standards — use a clean format, highlight remote work experience, and include your English proficiency. Many SA applicants succeed by emphasising their strong work ethic and cultural adaptability.
Load Shedding Preparedness
If you're applying for a remote role, having a backup power solution (UPS, inverter, or generator) and mobile data as a backup internet connection shows employers you're prepared for South Africa's infrastructure challenges.
