Melbourne or Sydney based.An prospect to lead the growth of a school improvement edtech platform across Australia, with committed funding, a proven methodology, and a coalition of influential education leaders already behind it.
The Managing Director will take ownership of TEP's Australian growth, build partnerships across the school system, and establish TEP Australia as a trusted presence in the sector.
The foundations described above – the Taskforce, pilot schools, the SVA partnership, the evidence base – provide the starting point.
The Managing Director's task is to convert that momentum into a sustainable, locally led operation.
In practice, this means three things:
Business Development

Develop and execute the business development strategy, working closely with the TEP Board to agreed growth targets
Build relationships with senior leaders across the state, Catholic and independent school sectors, particularly in establishing relationships with groups of schools
Identify and pursue opportunities for central commissioning
Represent TEP Australia at conferences, sector events and in public contexts




Report to TEP Board and steering group on pipeline and commercial progress
Strategic Leadership
Act as the senior leader and primary representative of TEP in Australia
Adapt and refine TEP's operating model for the Australian education context
Build a compelling case for engagement measurement among school leaders, policymakers and sector influencers
Develop the TEP Australia team over time, including leading team growth
Maximise the partnership with Social Ventures Australia
Contribute to the broader TEP strategy as a member of the global leadership group
Delivery Oversight
Oversee onboarding, support and retention of school partners in the initial phase
Ensure high standards of delivery and partner satisfaction, working with UK-based product and community teams
Manage school relationships initially, eventually transitioning delivery responsibilities to dedicated team members as the operation scales
Partner with school leaders, helping translate engagement data into practical steps
