Description

We're looking for a sharp, proactive Executive Assistant to join Contour in a newly-created role supporting both Co-Founders. As a trusted right (or left!) hand, you’ll play a key part in streamlining operations, managing fast-moving priorities, coordinating internal events, and leveraging smart tools (including AI) to boost efficiency. If you love bringing order to chaos, thrive in high-growth environments, and want to work side-by-side with visionary leaders, this is your opportunity to make a real impact at a business reshaping 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 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.
