General Manager, NSW
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 29, 2026. First seen by Alion on Oct 23, 2026. Contour Education scores A on the Alion truth index.
Lead Contour in a new state, and grow with it.
We open our first NSW campuses in Sydney in January 2027, with more to follow. Sydney families know tutoring well, and many already use an established HSC provider. Your job is to launch our campuses to the standard families expect from day one, give them a clear reason to choose Contour, and build the team that takes NSW from two campuses to many.
As our General Manager, NSW, you’ll own how the state performs: enrolments and revenue, campus quality, and the local sales and campus teams.. You'll lead our Campus Leaders, build school and community partnerships, and be the face of Contour in the state. You'll report to our VP of Sales and work closely with our national campus operations team. This role is built to grow: as the state grows, so do your team, your budget and your scope.
Who We Are
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.
What You Will Do
You'll carry NSW’s numbers personally, lead the state, from first enquiry to a full, well-run campus.
- Lead the state: Own the state plan, report weekly on enrolments, campuses and team, and be the person accountable for results.

- Lead the campus team: Lead, coach and hire Campus Leaders, and make sure every campus runs to our standard, from rostering and printing to safety and compliance.
- Schools and community: Build relationships with schools, careers advisers and community groups, and run workshops and parent evenings that lead to enrolments.
- Build the state team: Hire and lead a local sales team, Campus Leaders and the operations layer, ahead of enrolments and campus openings. The team’s number is your number, delivered within the state budget.
