About Tetr
Tetr is a global business school where students learn across seven countries, build ventures, solve real-world business challenges, and work alongside founders, operators, investors, and industry leaders.
At Tetr, education is not confined to classrooms. Students learn by doing, building, and operating across markets.
Career Labs exists to ensure that every student translates these experiences into meaningful career outcomes through internships, projects, entrepreneurial opportunities, and full-time roles.
We are now looking for a leader to build and scale the employer ecosystem that powers those outcomes.
