Why this seat is hard to fill.

Marketing agency project management sits between client promises, campaign production, approvals, reporting, and internal handoffs. The professional needs agency context before the board matters.

How we reach 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.
  • Eight active searches a month, so the outreach stays personal enough that someone with a job reads it.

How we check them.

  • 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.

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 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.
  • You only need board cleanup.
  • The role is temporary production coordination.
  • You are not ready to define delivery ownership.
