Why this seat is hard to fill.

Digital agencies where creative, media, SEO, lifecycle, and reporting work move at different speeds under the same client relationship.

How we reach them.

  • Every search starts with the digital agency project managers who are in the seat right now, in Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. The good ones came up through the work, so they are known inside their shop and invisible 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.

  • A live prioritization exercise across campaign launch, reporting, and overdue client feedback.
  • Tool fluency across agency project boards, Slack, Google Workspace, and reporting dashboards.
  • A written exercise: condensing messy project notes into useful client communication.

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.

  • Your project manager needs to understand the agency's work, not just the board.
  • Client communication breaks when work crosses teams.
  • You need senior judgment in the delivery layer.
  • You need a Scrum master for a software team.
  • You want low-cost admin coverage.
  • You do not want the professional speaking to clients.
