Nearshore project manager for marketing agencies, built for delivery pressure.
Vela headhunts nearshore project managers 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 agency project management sits between client promises, campaign production, approvals, reporting, and internal handoffs. The professional needs agency context before the board matters.
- Owns the weekly delivery rhythm from client promise to shipped work.
- Turns task movement, blockers, and owner names into clean client-visible status.
- Uses US working-hour overlap to resolve dependencies before they become delays.
How we find and vet them.
Every search starts with the project managers who are in the seat right now, in Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. The ones who keep campaigns on the promised date are why their agency keeps its promises.
- We reach them by warm intro, prior-network referral, and a researched personal email. Never a job post, never a recruiter blast.
- A live delivery scenario around an overdue campaign asset, unclear owners, and a client waiting for status.
- Tool fluency across ClickUp, Asana, Slack, Notion, Google Workspace, and reporting docs.
- A written exercise: converting messy delivery context into precise updates.
- 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 project manager needs to speak to clients or write client-visible updates.
- Delivery slips because the work crosses too many internal hands.
- You need senior ownership without another US project-management salary.
Not the right fit when
- You only need board cleanup.
- The role is temporary production coordination.
- You are not ready to define delivery ownership.
“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.”
