Description

Are you a people-focused leader who loves building high-performing teams and helping others succeed? At Contour Education, we’re on a mission to reshape education by connecting students with high-quality tutoring programs that inspire confidence and deliver results.

As our Sales Team Leader, you won’t just oversee the sales process, you’ll be hands-on in guiding, coaching, and motivating our Sales Representatives to connect with families in a way that’s genuine, helpful, and results-driven. You’ll refine our sales approach, keep the team firing on all cylinders, and ensure every family feels confident and cared for as they begin their journey with us.

We’re looking for an empathetic, organised, and goal-driven leader who brings a proven sales track record, experience mentoring others, and the ability to inspire a collaborative, student-first culture. If that sounds like you, we want to hear from you.

Who are we

We empower students and their studies by providing an ecosystem of highly effective tutoring, resources and support. We run weekly small-group tutoring sessions, 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 300+ team members have joined Contour 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, starting with tutoring.
