Area Manager - Victoria

Who We Are

Contour was founded in 2020 by students who saw that the quality of your education was basically a lottery. Teachers stretched thin by the system, learning materials that varied from school to school, and support that stopped the moment you left the classroom.

We began with 5 students in a room. Today 15,000+ students have trusted Contour as their academic partners, and we've grown to 500+ team members across 10 campuses in Australia. In 2025 we ranked #8 on the AFR Fast 100 of fastest-growing companies.

We've produced hundreds of 99+ ATARs, tutored the world-record UCAT scorer, and placed 850+ students into medical and dental schools across Australia.

Contour is made up of three brands:

• Contour Education → academic performance in high school
• Contour MedPrep → entry into medical and dental schools
• Contour TestPrep → entry into selective and scholarship schools

Contour is 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-site operations (essential), 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 + super + $15,000 car allowance), plus hybrid flexibility, extra leave, EAP access, and lifestyle perks.
