The steady hand the front line calls on.
You're still Contour's front door for families needing a fast, warm answer, but you're also the person the team turns to when a call gets hard. You handle the trickiest escalations yourself, and spot the process gaps before they become a pattern of dropped requests.
Working across phone, email and SMS, you keep every family feeling heard. Most of what lands on your desk isn't about tutoring, it's everything around it: the scheduling clash, the billing dispute, the family who's already called twice and is done repeating themselves. You're the one who makes sure it doesn't happen a third time.
Contour was founded in 2020 by students who saw that the quality of your education was basically a lottery. Teachers stretched thin by the system, learning materials that varied from school to school, and support that stopped the moment you left the classroom.
We began with 5 students in a room. Today 15,000+ students have trusted Contour as their academic partners, and we've grown to 500+ team members across 10 campuses in Australia. In 2025 we ranked #8 on the AFR Fast 100 of fastest-growing companies.
We've produced hundreds of 99+ ATARs, tutored the world-record UCAT scorer, and placed 850+ students into medical and dental schools across Australia.
Contour is made up of three brands:
- Contour Education → academic performance in high school
- Contour MedPrep → entry into medical and dental schools
- Contour TestPrep → entry into selective and scholarship schools
Contour is built by students, for students.
You'll carry the hardest cases yourself and raise the standard of the support experience.
- Handle the escalations: Take the calls other reps can't resolve, including the second and third contact from a frustrated family, and close them out yourself.
- Answer and resolve: Cover live calls, email and messages, and resolve transactional requests on the spot. Where you can't, set a dated callback and follow it through.
- Route and own: Triage cleanly, raise linked requests for other teams with the context they need, and track every open item through to closure.
- Improve the system: Spot gaps in process or scripting, and put forward fixes rather than just working around them.
- Keep the record: Log every interaction to the family record, and help families self-serve where it genuinely helps them.
- Proven experience in a customer-facing, service or contact-centre role, including handling escalations or complex cases.
- Fast, organised and reliable, with pride in nothing being dropped.
- Warm, clear and confident phone manner, even when the caller isn't.
- Strong written communication across email and messaging.
- Composure under pressure, and the judgement to know what to escalate versus resolve yourself.
- Comfortable with HubSpot and AI tools.
- Understanding of Australian school systems across states and year levels (VCE, HSC, QCE), or a fast learner who can pick it up.
- Flexibility to work shifts across a 9am to 9pm window, including some evening and weekend availability, since that's when families are most reachable.
- Melbourne-based across our Glen Waverley and CBD campuses, with a hybrid working setup.
- Own the hard cases and see your fixes actually change how the team runs.
- Build real, lasting relationships with the families you support, not one-off transactions.
- Directly shape retention and student outcomes at a fast-growing company.
- Clear path for career development as Contour scales.
- Competitive salary plus hybrid flexibility, extra leave, EAP access, and lifestyle perks.
