Don't just teach the syllabus - build the blueprint for how an entire state learns.
As Contour Education expands into New South Wales, we are hiring dedicated State Subject Curriculum Leads for separate, individual roles across Year 7-10 Mathematics, Mathematics Advanced (Year 11-12), Mathematics Extension 1 & 2 (Year 11-12), Biology (Year 11-12), Chemistry (Year 11-12), and Physics (Year 11-12). In this role, you will own the source of truth for your discipline - mastering NESA syllabuses, school assessment patterns, and exam structures to ensure all Contour resources are built flawlessly.
This is a high-impact position acting as the strategic director and quality gate for your chosen subject in NSW. Rather than writing every question yourself, you will direct content production and define curriculum benchmarks, building a compounding body of knowledge that defines how thousands of students learn from the ground up.
This flexible, part-time role (8-10 hours per week) gives you complete strategic ownership over your subject area. You will take a blank page and turn NESA guidelines into a premium, state-specific program, ensuring Contour's educational offering is market-leading and built to scale.
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.
