Sales Representative

Are you a natural communicator with a passion for 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 a Sales Representative, you’ll play a key role in guiding families through their educational journey, helping students take their first steps towards achieving their goals. If you thrive in a people-focused, target-driven environment, this role is for you! 

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.

• Outbound Leads: Contact interested students and parents via phone, email, and text, share details about our programs, answer questions, and book free trial weeks. (This is primarily a B2C outbound calling sales role!)

• Manage Enquiries: Handle incoming enquiries via phone, email, and text, sharing details about our programs, answer questions, and book free trial weeks.

• Drive Enrolments: Conduct follow-ups with prospective students and parents who have completed free trial weeks, converting interest into enrolments by showcasing the value of Contour’s offerings.

• Hit Your Targets: Meet and exceed enrolment goals by managing a robust sales pipeline, maximising every opportunity to connect and engage.
