Description

As Area Manager at Contour Education, you'll be the force that keeps our campus operations running seamlessly, while also empowering our leaders to grow and thrive. You’ll wear multiple hats — from leading infrastructure upgrades to coaching campus leaders, driving quality across our network, and being a trusted right hand to executive leadership.

If you're energised by fast-paced environments, passionate about team development, and love the challenge of scaling operations across multiple sites — this might just be your dream role.

Who we are

We empower students and their studies by providing an ecosystem of highly effective tutoring, resources and support. We run weekly small-group tutoring sessions at our in-person campuses, presented by young and experienced tutors that teach in a simple, intuitive and engaging way. We also supplement these sessions with weekly workshops, complimentary 1-on-1 support and a learning portal with a comprehensive suite of resources and practice material to help students master their subjects.

Over 8,000 students and 250+ team members have joined Contour Education since our founding in the beginning of 2020. Our growth is a testament to our dedication in providing ALL our students and parents with a premium learning experience (from 24/7 personal support to on-demand resources) and our commitment to helping them achieve their personal goals, and achieve success in their school assessments and exams. We've been listed three years in a row as one of the Fastest Growing Startups by the Australian Financial Review, and we're continuing to multiply year over year!

It's our vision to reshape education, one student at a time.
