Senior Payroll

Description

Flawless Payroll. Smarter Systems

Contour is entering its next growth chapter, and payroll is at the centre of it. We're rolling out Rippling across the business, and we need an experienced systems architect and builder, who can not only run payroll to perfection, but also build the bridge between HR, finance, and automation.

If you're customer-centric, tech-focused and love turning complexity into clean systems, come join us as our newly-created Senior Payroll & Systems Specialist - this is your moment.

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 at our in-person campuses, 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 8,000 students and 250+ team members have joined Contour Education 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've been listed three years in a row as one of the Fastest Growing Startups by the Australian Financial Review, and we're continuing to multiply year over year

It's our vision to reshape education, one student at a time.
