⭐️ Ready to lead the next chapter of Contour’s growth?

At Contour Education, we don’t just operate campuses, we are delivering exceptional student experiences and reshaping education. We’re looking for a dynamic Area Manager to lead day-to-day operations at our first interstate campus in Adelaide, South Australia, as we take Contour national.

Starting in 2026, Contour is expanding beyond Melbourne into, South Australia, Queensland, and Western Australia and you can be at the forefront of this exciting journey.

As Area Manager, you’ll oversee campus operations, ensure operational excellence, coach and mentor team members, and drive continuous improvement to deliver an exceptional student and staff experience. You’ll own the quality of campus life, lead facilities and operational standards, and directly contribute to Contour’s national growth strategy.

This is your opportunity to make a tangible impact, grow as a leader, and be part of a pioneering team reshaping education on a national scale

Who We Are

At Contour, we’re reshaping education, one student at a time.

Born from the frustration of students who knew the system could be better, we set out to build what we once wished existed: tutoring that actually works. Not generic classes. Not recycled notes. Not overpriced, overcrowded rooms with an out-of-touch teacher who couldn’t relate. But a complete ecosystem of tutoring, resources, and support, meticulously designed to help every student reach their full potential.

Since 2020, over 10,000+ students have trusted Contour to guide their academic journey, and we’ve grown to over 300+ team members. We’ve produced hundreds of 99+ ATARs, tutored the World-Record UCAT scorer, and placed more students into medical school than any school in Australia.

Our growth is a testament to the simple philosophy: Put the student first, always. Everything we design, from our world-class tutor-training programs to our purpose-built campuses, exists to help students master content faster, perform with confidence, and even rekindle the joy of learning.

Contour is a group of three brands united by one goal: to give every student the best chance to achieve their full potential:

Contour Education: Reshaping how students master their high school subjects with small-group tutoring, structured resources, and 1-on-1 support across Maths, Science, and English.

Contour Medprep: Reshaping medical preparation with a proven, step-by-step pathway through the UCAT, interviews, and admissions, led by a team of 100+ medical students.

Contour TestPrep: Reshaping test preparation, starting with the selective entry exam, through rigorous tutoring, mock exams, and data-driven feedback to give students a decisive advantage.

This is Contour. Built by students, for students.
