Description

The Operations Manager – Victoria is responsible for overseeing the efficient and effective operations of multiple sites across the region. This role ensures that operational processes run smoothly, resources are allocated effectively, and teams are empowered to deliver high-quality services that align with Contour's mission to reshape education, one student at a time.

The Operations Manager acts as a leader for site-based team leaders and their teams, ensuring consistency in service delivery, compliance, and operational excellence across all locations.

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 6,000 students and 150+ 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 have been listed three years in a row as one of the Fastest Growing Startups by the Australian Financial Review, and we are continuing to multiply year over year

It is our vision to reshape education, starting with tutoring.
