Why this seat is hard to fill.

Agency operations has to improve how work moves without turning the company into a process museum.

How we reach them.

  • Every search starts with the agency operations managers who are in the seat right now, in Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. Operations people are found by reputation inside a company, not by posting the role outside it.
  • We reach them by warm intro, prior-network referral, and a researched personal email. Never a job post, never a recruiter blast.
  • Eight active searches a month, so the outreach stays personal enough that someone with a job reads it.

How we check them.

  • An operations diagnostic around missed handoffs and manual reporting.
  • Tool screen across project management, documentation, automation, and reporting systems.
  • Reference checks with the people who actually managed them, run the same way we check references for our own team.

Want the hire trained to run AI in the seat? We offer that as a separate, optional bootcamp — priced on its own, never bundled into the placement fee.

We say no more often than we say yes.

  • You need operations that touch client work directly.
  • Manual reporting and handoffs are costing senior time.
  • You want one professional to improve the system while doing the work.
  • You need a fractional COO.
  • You want an operations consultant without a placement.
  • You are not ready to change how the team works.
