Why this seat is hard to fill.

Marketing agency operations breaks when reporting, task flow, handoffs, and client communication all depend on founder memory. The seat needs workflow judgment during the US working day.

How we reach them.

  • Every search starts with the operations managers who are in the seat right now, in Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. Once the work moves cleanly, whoever made it move is the hardest person in the building to replace.
  • 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 working call around a workflow audit with scattered task boards, repeated reporting cleanup, and unclear handoffs between account and delivery.
  • A written screen for client-ready clarity: facts, owners, dates, and the next action.
  • 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.

  • Your agency has delivery process, reporting, and handoff problems that repeat every week.
  • The founder still translates too much internal movement into client-ready operating rhythm.
  • You need operations ownership with agency context, not generic admin cleanup.
  • You only need back-office data entry.
  • The role has no access to client or delivery context.
  • You are not ready to change how work moves through the team.
