Who We Are Tetra Digital Group is Canada's leading institutional digital asset infrastructure provider, and right now, we're at an inflection point five years in the making. As Canada's first and only regulated digital asset custodian, we've built the institutional foundation that the market now demands. Backed by Wealthsimple, National Bank, ATB Financial, Purpose Unlimited, Shakepay, Shopify, and Coinbase Ventures, some of the most consequential names in Canadian finance and fintech, we're building infrastructure that matters. Tetra Digital Group operates three interconnected businesses: Tetra Trust, our regulated custody arm; Tetra Unity, a platform connecting custodians, risk systems, and data networks; and CADD, a compliant on-chain payment rail backed 1:1 by Canadian dollars. About the Role This role exists to make our CTO measurably more effective. Our CTO's leverage is highest when focused on technology direction, security and cryptographic architecture, engineering team development, and ISV partner relationships. The operational and administrative surface around those things, people logistics, executive reporting, budget tracking, vendor administration, cross‑functional coordination, consumes time better spent on the technical work. You will own that operational surface end‑to‑end. The role is modelled on the Business Manager function that has historically existed in product groups at companies like Microsoft: a dedicated operator who runs the operational machinery of an engineering unit on behalf of the technical lead. If that pattern is familiar to you, you'll recognize this role immediately. This is a force‑multiplier role. You won't make technical or leadership decisions for the technology function, you'll make sure everything that surrounds those decisions runs cleanly. Who You Are You've spent several years in business operations, chief of staff, project coordination, executive support, or a similar role, ideally inside a technology company or regulated financial services environment. You've supported a senior technical or executive leader directly and made them visibly more effective. You write exceptionally well. The materials you draft can go to a CEO without being rewritten. You close loops. You track commitments, drive them to closure, and don't let things fall through. When deadlines slip, you communicate ahead of time, not after. You don't wait to be asked. If you see something that needs handling, you handle it. You take ownership of your domain with minimal supervision. You're comfortable in a high‑candor environment. Tetra's leadership communicates directly and expects the same. You read the room. You're operating close to senior leadership and you know when to act, when to ask, and when to elevate. You're adaptable. We're growing and the role will evolve. Rigidity is a disqualifier. You're not looking for a stepping stone into a technical role. You derive satisfaction from making a high‑performing leader more effective and from running a function that doesn't fall over when one person is out of the room.
