Description

We have a fantastic opportunity for a driven and committed individual to join our passionate team. Be the leader who develops and nurtures relationships with our students and parents, and helps them derive maximum benefit and satisfaction from our offerings at Contour Education

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 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'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.

The Role

In this role, you will be responsible for nurturing deep and personal relationships with our current students and parents, with the overall goal of helping them make the most of our services. This will include regularly being in touch with them throughout the academic year, keeping parents in the loop with their child's progress, bridging the gap between parents and the Contour brand and helping students stay in touch outside of class.

Your mission is to be a trusted resource, building lasting relationships and ensuring students and their families feel supported. This role is ideal for someone eager to grow within a startup, with potential for advancement. It requires consistent in-person part-time hours and a long-term commitment to Contour's vision of reshaping education. You'll work alongside our sales & customer service team, our billing team, and our tutoring teams to help our students and parents develop a lasting relationship with Contour.

Why Contour?

Working in our collaborative environment with an energetic team is a fantastic opportunity to hone your skills, and learn heaps along the way At Contour Education, you'll get an inside look at one of the fastest growing start-ups in education in Australia. Our team is super driven and hard-working, but we're all easy-going and friendly, and we love our frequent (paid-for ) team dinners and meet-ups, where you'll get to talk and vibe with everyone. Rather than being in an overly formal corporate sales setting, at Contour you can apply the same skills in a start-up environment with an energetic team.

Our goal is to reshape education, starting with tutoring. We think there's an opportunity for a brand and organisation to create a significant impact on school-level education in Australia. We believe, through the implementation of technology and business practices, learning can be much more enjoyable and effective for students. As we progress, our small steps start to become big strides, as we make major advances in the resources & support we provide to our students. We strongly believe that if you want to apply your sales/customer service skills in the education space, Contour is the place to be, and this might just be the role for you
