Nearshore marketing operations, built for agency workflows.
Vela headhunts marketing operations professionals who already have the job, in Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires and Mexico City. AI-ready, vetted on a live working interview, introduced three at a time.
What the seat owns.
Marketing operations is the layer that makes reporting, workflows, handoffs, and accountability repeatable. The overlap matters because the professional has to work with the team while the work is happening.
- Owns operating systems that keep client work visible and repeatable.
- Connects reporting, task movement, and handoffs into a cleaner rhythm.
- Documents workflows so senior people stop rebuilding the same process.
How we find and vet them.
Every search starts with the marketing operations professionals who are in the seat right now, in Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. The people who make reporting and handoffs repeatable become load-bearing fast.
- We reach them by warm intro, prior-network referral, and a researched personal email. Never a job post, never a recruiter blast.
- A workflow-mapping exercise across reporting, client updates, and delivery handoffs.
- Tool fluency across Airtable, Zapier or n8n, spreadsheets, dashboards, and project boards.
- Reference checks with the people who actually managed them, run the same way we check references for our own team.
- They already use AI in the work they do every day. We check it on the working interview; it is not an add-on to the fee.

Is it the right hire?
A good fit when
- Your team wastes senior hours on manual reporting and process cleanup.
- You need operations tied to client delivery, not back-office administration.
- You want someone who has already run this seat, not someone learning it here.
Not the right fit when
- You need finance or HR operations.
- You want tools configured without a professional owning the rhythm.
- You are not ready to standardize how client work moves.
“For one role, we ended up hiring the very first candidate that we were introduced to, and we absolutely love her. I was very impressed with the speed and quality.”
