Content Producer / Videographer
Summary
A videographer at Contour Education, a tutoring/education company, owns video end to end: scripting and pre-production, directing talent, filming on campus and on location with DSLR cameras and lighting/audio gear, and editing in Adobe Premiere Pro into brand-standard and social-first content for students.
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 Will Do
You own video across all three stages of production: pre-production, shooting, and editing.
- Pre-production: Draft and refine scripts, pitch content ideas, organise talent (with booking support from the Production Coordinator), and plan shot lists and run sheets ahead of each shoot.
- Directing: Direct talent and presenters on the day, guide pacing, framing and tone, and make confident calls on the floor to keep the shoot on track.
- Shooting: Film on campus and on location, set up and operate camera, lighting and audio gear, and capture clean footage, plus supporting stills and b-roll, to brief.
- Editing: Cut in Adobe Premiere Pro to Contour's brand standard, add captions, graphics and colour, manage and archive media, and repurpose long-form pieces into social-first cuts.
- Collaboration and craft: Take creative direction from the Video Production Lead, work to briefs and a publishing schedule in Notion, and stay across current platform trends and specs.
What You Will Bring
- A portfolio of content you've both filmed and edited.
- Confident with DSLR / mirrorless cameras, plus lighting and audio setup.
- Proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro, with a strong eye for pacing and a clean finish.
- More than comfortable directing talent and running a piece-to-camera shoot.
- A sense for what makes content engaging for a student audience.
- Comfortable writing or co-writing scripts from a brief, without needing everything templated.
- Speed and nimbleness: quality work, turned around quickly, even when priorities shift.
- An ownership mentality: you treat your content as yours end to end.
- Comfort using AI tools to speed up scripting, ideation and edit workflows.
- A driver's licence and access to a vehicle, to travel to shoots across Contour's campuses.
Motion graphics or After Effects skills, and your own gear, are a bonus, not a requirement.
Why You Will Love It
- Full ownership: Every piece is yours end to end, from the idea to the final cut.
- Reach: Your work is what thousands of students actually watch and learn from.
- Craft: Work alongside the Video Production Lead and the design team, and keep sharpening your camera, directing and editing chops.
- Reward: Competitive salary ( + super), plus hybrid flexibility where the shoot allows, EAP access, and lifestyle perks.
