Job Description
Who We Are
n
At Contour, we're reshaping education, one student at a time.
n
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.
n
Since 2020, over 15,000+ 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.
n
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.
n
Contour is a group of three brands united by one goal: to give every student the best chance to achieve their full potential:
n
n
- 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.
n
- 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.
n
- 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.
n
n
This is Contour. Built by students, for students.

What You Will Do
n
You'll carry QLD's number personally at launch, then build a team of sales representatives that carries it without you.
n
n
- Owning the sales funnel: Run the QLD funnel end to end, enquiry through trial to enrolment, knowing the conversion rate at every stage. Act within the week when a stage drops, not at quarter end.
n
- Personal selling and team coaching: Carry the close yourself in the first two terms, then hire, coach and exit QLD sales reps against the central quality bar until each one can hit target unsupervised.
n
- Revenue and budget ownership: Own the QLD revenue number and manage the state budget, reporting honestly to the VP of Sales and Finance, and running spend within an agreed budget.
n
- Campus operations and staffing : Lead the Campus Leaders and local operations team, roster and cover tutors across QLD, and set class times to local school timetables.
n
- Local people and compliance: Handle classification, contracts, performance management and exits with the named P&C; Business Partner, and be the face of Contour to QLD team members, students, families and schools.
n
- Central relationship management: Win dated QLD commitments from central teams on a shared scorecard, and manage site selection and leasing jointly with the central team.
n
- Renewal and relationship-led growth: Treat re-enrolment as a sales motion, and build the school, community and referral relationships that establish Contour's name in QLD.
n
n
What You Will Bring
n
n
- Recent personal selling : you've carried a quota in a consultative, high-trust sale and can take an end-of-trial conversation without warming up.
n
- Sales leadership through growth : you've owned a team number,
hired and exited reps, and run the pipeline discipline that keeps a forecast honest.
n
- Proof you've coached past your own level: you can name reps you developed who now hit target without you in the room.
n
- Commercial and budget management: you own a revenue number, manage a budget fluently, and understand unit economics well enough to make real trade-offs.
n
- Multi-site build and operation : you've run several physical locations through site leaders while holding one consistent standard, and stood something up from the ground before.
n
- A relevant degree and a track record running a multi-site or geographic operation with a revenue and budget remit.
n
- Ideally, a start or scale-up phase behind you.
n
- Ownership and judgement under pressure: you spot gaps and close them, and make sound calls with incomplete information.
n
- Genuine care for students and team members , and an instinct for the experience that earns word of mouth.
n
- Brisbane-based and willing to be on the ground.
n
- Flexibility to work weekends, particularly during enrolment peaks, and to work to campus opening hours rather than a standard 9-to-5.
n
n
Why You Will Love It
n
n
- Real ownership: you're building a state from the ground up, not maintaining someone else's system.
n
- A transparent arc : the role is deliberately broad at launch and narrows to pure go-to-market leadership as QLD proves out, with an Operations lead eventually taking day-to-day off your plate.
n
- High-trust autonomy: you elevate when local and central priorities clash, rather than absorbing it quietly.
n
- A brand with proof behind it: hundreds of 99+ ATARs, the World-Record UCAT scorer, and more students placed into medical school than any school in Australia.
n
- Competitive salary: ($140,000–$180,000 AUD + super) plus a genuine path to grow the role as QLD scales.
