Area Manager - Victoria

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.

What You'll Bring

• Experience running multi-campus operations, ideally in education, retail, or hospitality.
• A track record of coaching frontline managers, not just supervising them.
• Comfort using demand and performance data to make roster, class, and resourcing calls.
• A habit of standardising what works and cutting what doesn't.
• A level head under pressure, especially when a roster breaks last minute.
• The confidence to hold people to a high standard, directly and respectfully.
• Working knowledge of WHS and compliance in a multi-campus environment.
• A genuine coach: you'd rather build your team's capability than fix things yourself.
• A full driver's licence and willingness to travel between campuses regularly.
• Energy for fast growth, and comfort figuring things out as new campuses open.

Why You'll Love It

• Ownership: Every campus in your area is yours to run, and yours to prove.
• Growth: This role is the direct path into a State Manager seat, as your area or new areas open up.
• Reach: Your leadership shapes the experience of every student and every Campus Leader in your area.
• Culture: Join a founder-led group that's grown to 500+ team members and 15,000+ students since 2020.
• Reward: Competitive salary ($120,000 AUD + $15,000 car allowance + super), plus hybrid flexibility, extra leave, EAP access, and lifestyle perks.
