Sales Team Leader

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 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 10,000+ students have trusted Contour to guide their academic journey, and we’ve grown to over 300+ 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.
