**Own the campus experience across your area.**

You're the person who makes sure every campus in your area runs the way it should, every day, not just on the days someone's watching. Overseeing operations across 6 Victoria campuses - including Bentleigh, Glen Waverley Railway & Kingsway, Springvale, Narre Warren, and one upcoming campus - you **own the standard : consistent, safe, high-quality learning environments across every campus, delivered through the Campus Leaders you build and coach. You audit, fix, and lift** what needs lifting, and you take on the tactical, multi-campus calls so your State Manager can stay focused on state-level strategy.

This is a role for someone who's genuinely energised by being on campus, not behind a desk watching dashboards. You'll **coach Campus Leaders through the real stuff, manage classes and rosters** against demand data, and be the first person a campus calls when something goes wrong. If you'd rather build a bench of leaders who can handle it themselves than fix everything yourself, this is your seat.

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 15,000+ students have trusted Contour to guide their academic journey, and we’ve grown to over 500+ 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.

##### **What You'll Do**

You run the daily operations, standards, and people across every campus in your area.

**Area coverage:** Oversee operations across 6 Victoria campuses, including Bentleigh, Glen Waverley Railway & Kingsway, Springvale, Narre Warren, and one upcoming campus.
**The frontline experience:** Lead daily operations across every campus in your area, keeping quality, safety, and Contour's standards consistent everywhere.
**Standards and audits:** Audit campuses regularly using data, feedback, and visits, and close the gaps you find before they become problems.
**Classes, rosters and resources:** Split, merge and create classes against demand data, keep every roster covered, and own printing and resource delivery so no student ever misses out.
**Your leadership bench:** Coach and mentor Campus Leaders, run onboarding and development, and recruit, train, and launch every new campus in your area.
**Projects and escalations:** Lead on-campus projects, intensives, and events end to end, and be the first point of escalation for campus issues, so problems get solved at your level.
**Work health and safety:** Champion WHS and child safety across every campus, identify and address risks early, and ensure every student and team member has a safe place to learn and work.
**Commercial performance and partnerships:** Own the P&L and margin performance for your area, partnering closely with central operations teams to turn company wide plans into consistent campus execution and make smart, data-led decisions that support sustainable growth.

A genuine coach: you'd rather build your team's capability than fix things yourself.
