Program Manager, Launching Canada's First Stablecoin

Join to apply for the Program Manager, Launching Canada's First Stablecoin role at Tetra Digital Group.

Tetra is leading the charge in Canada’s digital asset revolution, solving one of the final barriers to widespread institutional adoption: secure, compliant custody. With $10 million in backing from powerhouses like ATB Financial, National Bank, Shopify, and Wealthsimple, we’re launching Canada’s first regulated stablecoin and scaling beyond custody into a multi‑billion‑dollar ecosystem. Founded in 2019 under Tetra Digital Group, we’re building the world’s premier institutional‑grade digital asset infrastructure with the stability of a financially robust organization and the high‑octane agility of a startup with world‑class potential.

Who You Are

You’re a high‑octane, forward‑thinking professional with a relentless drive to accelerate your career and make a transformative impact. As our Program Manager for the preparation and rollout of Canada’s first stablecoin, you’ll report directly to the CEO, serving as a hands‑on leader in this groundbreaking initiative while collaborating with multiple large financial institutions, influential stakeholders, and sophisticated shareholders. You thrive in fast‑paced environments, crave opportunities to learn and grow quickly, and are ready to level up our organization in record time. With a strong blend of strategic mindset, deep experience in the financial institution sector and digital assets, extreme accountability, and exceptional execution skills, you’re poised to drive this first‑of‑its‑kind program in Canada from concept to launch. This isn’t just a job, it’s a launchpad to a senior leadership role within 18–24 months for someone who’s competent, experienced, a hard worker, flexible, solutions‑oriented, and resourceful in finding ways to deliver results no matter the stakes.
