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.

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 8,000 students and 300+ 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'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, starting with tutoring.

As the Sales Team Leader at Contour Education, you'll lead a motivated team in a high-volume, fast-paced environment, primarily focused on warm and hot leads. Your role will be a mix of leadership, coaching, and strategic improvement to ensure the team achieves and exceeds enrolment targets while providing an exceptional experience for every family.

• Drive Sales Success: Guide the team in converting enquiries into enrolments through a student-first approach that's warm, clear, and solutions-focused.

• Foster Collaboration: Work closely with other leaders to align efforts across departments and maintain a consistent, high-quality family experience.

Working hours span weekdays from 12:00 PM to 9:00 PM and weekends from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Ongoing professional development is supported, and high achievers have strong career growth pathways within our leadership team.
