An opportunity to lead the growth of a school improvement edtech platform across Australia, with committed funding, a proven methodology, and a coalition of influential education leaders already behind it.

The Managing Director will take ownership of TEP’s Australian growth, build partnerships across the school system, and establish TEP Australia as a trusted presence in the sector. The foundations described above – the Taskforce, pilot schools, the SVA partnership, the evidence base – provide the starting point. The Managing Director’s task is to convert that momentum into a sustainable, locally led operation. In practice, this means three things:

Business Development
  • Lead new partnerships with schools, school systems and education bodies
  • Develop and execute the business development strategy, working closely with the TEP Board to agreed growth targets
  • Build relationships with senior leaders across the state, Catholic and independent school sectors, particularly in establishing relationships with groups of schools
  • Identify and pursue opportunities for central commissioning
  • Represent TEP Australia at conferences, sector events and in public contexts
  • Report to TEP Board and steering group on pipeline and commercial progress

Strategic Leadership
  • Act as the senior leader and primary representative of TEP in Australia
  • Adapt and refine TEP’s operating model for the Australian education context
  • Build a compelling case for engagement measurement among school leaders, policymakers and sector influencers
  • Develop the TEP Australia team over time, including leading team growth
  • Maximise the partnership with Social Ventures Australia
  • Contribute to the broader TEP strategy as a member of the global leadership group

Delivery Oversight
  • Oversee onboarding, support and retention of school partners in the initial phase
  • Ensure high standards of delivery and partner satisfaction, working with UK-based product and community teams
  • Manage school relationships initially, eventually transitioning delivery responsibilities to dedicated team members as the operation scales
  • Partner with school leaders, helping translate engagement data into practical steps
