Job Description

SUMMARY

This is a remote position.

Want to take complete ownership of the clarity and quality of educational content at one of Australia’s fastest-growing education companies? To ensure resources are not just correct, but student-friendly, consistent, and publication-ready? To partner with content creators, curriculum specialists, and global teams to set the editorial standards that thousands of students rely on?

At Contour, we are looking for a meticulous proofreader and content-quality owner in one. Someone who thrives on precision, has a sharp eye for language, and enjoys turning strong content into flawless learning materials. So far, our teams have focused on content creation; now we need a Proofreader to build and maintain quality assurance practices tailored to our educational model.

This role is for someone who wants to roll up their sleeves, create proofreading frameworks, and set the style and tone for future materials. You will not only correct errors but also define how clarity, tone, and consistency are maintained across all learning resources.

Who We Are

Contour Education is reshaping what great education looks like at scale. Founded in 2020, we have grown from a handful of students to 8,000+ students and 320+ team members in just a few years, and we are only getting started.

We provide an ecosystem of support: weekly small-group tutoring sessions at our campuses, 1:1 personal support, and a comprehensive online learning portal packed with resources, practice material, and workshops. Our students consistently achieve exceptional results in school assessments, selective entry exams, and university preparation.

Behind the scenes, we run on lean operations, AI-driven automation, and modern tech systems. That is how we have been able to scale so quickly while maintaining a premium learning experience for every student.

We have been recognized three years in a row as one of the Australian Financial Review's Fastest Growing Startups, but growth is not our endgame. Our vision is bigger: to build the most effective education platform in Australia, combining human teaching with technology, and to empower every student to achieve their potential.

What You’ll Do

This is not a superficial spell-check role. You will be the hands-on owner of content quality. That means:

  • Carefully proofread educational documents to identify and correct grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors using Microsoft Word.
  • Ensure uniformity in style, tone, and formatting across all educational materials.
  • Improve readability by refining sentence structure and clarity to make content student - friendly.
  • Proofread a set number of documents each week to meet project milestones and deadlines.
  • Cross-check key facts, figures, and terminology to maintain academic accuracy.
  • Collaborate with writers, editors, and subject matter experts to clarify ambiguous content and suggest improvements.
  • Document style decisions and maintain shared editorial checklists and templates.

Why Join Us?

Because you want to own the quality of educational content end to end, not just fix isolated errors. At Contour, you are not another editor performing one-off checks. You are building the editorial backbone that ensures our materials are clear, consistent, and reliable for thousands of learners.

We are not a risky startup with no traction, but we are not a slow-moving corporation either. We sit in that rare middle ground: fast growth, stable model, and an ambitious roadmap. You can make a visible impact here quickly.

You will own proofreading standards, contribute to content workflows, and shape how students experience learning by ensuring every resource is accurate and easy to understand.
