Job Description

Turn what our tutors know into videos students actually want to watch.

You will own your project end to end: pre-production, shooting, and editing. Most days you're filming educational content and pieces to camera, in and on location, then cutting the result into something students actually finish watching.

This is a genuinely broad role. You'll script and plan, direct talent on the day, operate the camera, and edit the final cut yourself. The Production Coordinator will help handle logistics and scheduling, so you can stay focused on the creative.

You're measured first on whether the work serves and engages the student audience. Reach and brand outcomes are what follow when that standard is met, not the other way around.

Who We Are

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.

What You Will Do

You own video across all three stages of production: pre-production, shooting, and editing.

• Pre-production: Draft and refine scripts, pitch content ideas, organise talent (with booking support from the Production Coordinator), and plan shot lists and run sheets ahead of each shoot.
• Directing: Direct talent and presenters on the day, guide pacing, framing and tone, and make confident calls on the floor to keep the shoot on track.
• Shooting: Film on campus and on location, set up and operate camera, lighting and audio gear, and capture clean footage, plus supporting stills and b-roll, to brief.
• Editing: Cut in Adobe Premiere Pro to Contour's brand standard, add captions, graphics and colour, manage and archive media, and repurpose long-form pieces into social-first cuts.
• Collaboration and craft: Take creative direction from the Video Production Lead, work to briefs and a publishing schedule in Notion, and stay across current platform trends and specs.

What You Will Bring

• A portfolio of content you've both filmed and edited.
• Confident with DSLR / mirrorless cameras, plus lighting and audio setup.
• Proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro, with a strong eye for pacing and a clean finish.
• More than comfortable directing talent and running a piece-to-camera shoot.
• A sense for what makes content engaging for a student audience.
• Comfortable writing or co-writing scripts from a brief, without needing everything templated.
• Speed and nimbleness: quality work, turned around quickly, even when priorities shift.
• An ownership mentality: you treat your content as yours end to end.
• Comfort using AI tools to speed up scripting, ideation and edit workflows.
• A driver's licence and access to a vehicle, to travel to shoots across Contour's campuses.

Motion graphics or After Effects skills, and your own gear, are a bonus, not a requirement.

Why You Will Love It

• Full ownership: Every piece is yours end to end, from the idea to the final cut.
• Reach: Your work is what thousands of students actually watch and learn from.
• Craft: Work alongside the Video Production Lead and the design team, and keep sharpening your camera, directing and editing chops.
• Reward: Competitive salary (range AUD + super — Kelly to confirm), plus hybrid flexibility where the shoot allows, EAP access, and lifestyle perks.
