About Us
We’re an Australian-owned business building a new operations hub in Cebu to support multiple ventures across fitness, wellness, ecommerce, and tech-led services. This is a rare ground-floor opportunity to help launch and lead an entire office, starting remotely and transitioning to an in-person leadership role as the team grows.
The Role
We're hiring a proactive, sharp Operations Lead to manage our growing Cebu operations. You’ll work directly with the founder during the initial 3-month remote phase to help recruit and screen key staff, implement systems, and plan the physical office setup — before transitioning into a full-time in-person leadership role as the team scales.

- Highly organized, communicative, and confident working with international teams
- Comfortable with remote tools (Google Workspace, ClickUp, Notion, Slack)
- Strong initiative and attention to detail — you like to get things done
- Passionate about systems, automation, and AI integration
- PEZA experience (or familiarity with PEZA processes) is preferred
- Bonus: Background in graphic design or video editing is highly advantageous
Responsibilities
- Work remotely during the first 3 months to:
- Assist in recruiting designers, VAs, editors, and support staff
- Build workflows, documentation, and performance systems
- Help coordinate office planning and vendor research
- Transition into in-office leadership role to:
- Oversee daily Cebu office operations
- Manage team performance, reporting, and growth
- Coordinate with AU-based leadership on deliverables and KPIs
- Support PEZA-related admin and compliance (if applicable)
What You’ll Get
- Competitive salary with 13th month pay and monthly bonus structure
- Remote flexibility for the first 3 months
- Leadership of a team designed around your systems and processes
- Long-term stability and growth with potential for regional oversight
- Upskilling in AI tools and modern operational systems
