Why this seat is hard to fill.

Digital agencies where project management is not just task movement. The professional has to understand retainers, client expectations, and channel constraints.

How we reach them.

  • Every search starts with the agency project managers who are in the seat right now, in Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. An agency that has one who works does not advertise 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.

  • A working-call exercise around missed deadlines, unclear owners, and client pressure.
  • Tool fluency across ClickUp, Asana, Slack, Notion, Airtable, and spreadsheet reporting.
  • Agency-context check around scope, retainers, renewals, and handoff quality.

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.

  • Delivery quality depends on handoffs that no one currently owns.
  • Clients need clearer timelines without the founder writing every update.
  • You need a professional who has already worked inside agency pressure.
  • You only need a junior task coordinator.
  • You want a temporary freelancer for one launch.
  • You are not ready to hand over real delivery ownership.
