What would you tell a leadership team about their own business that they have not thought to ask?
On a typical day you might reconcile the weekly scorecard numbers back to Xero and HubSpot before the leadership review in the morning, work through month-end variances with the Financial Controller and draft the commentary after lunch, and send a short written note on why a revenue line moved and what you would do about it before the end of day.
About Contour
We started in 2020 with a handful of students and a belief that outstanding education should not be out of reach. Today we operate across three brands with 8,000+ students and 425+ team members: roughly 100 in India and 325 onshore in Australia. The India team runs publishing, student experience, CRM and technology, operations, and people and culture, and this role sits with the group finance function.
A company growing this fast is steered by the numbers someone puts in front of it each week. This is that seat.
About This Role
You're Contour's first Financial Analyst, and the senior of the first two India-based seats in group finance, alongside an Accountant who runs the transactional side. You own the analytical layer: the monthly reporting leadership reads, the weekly scorecard the business runs on, budget vs actual tracking, and the analysis behind decisions. You report to the Financial Controller, who owns the budgeting and forecasting, statutory reporting, management reporting, tax, and final sign-off of all financial data. Leadership decides which metrics matter; you make them measurable and reconciled, with the explanation attached.
Two things separate a strong hire here from a competent one. First, you're proactive by instinct: when a number moves, you find out why, form a view, and put a recommendation in front of the people who can act on it. Yo
