Why this seat is hard to fill.

A buy-and-build strategy only pays if each add-on actually gets integrated: payroll, systems, customer contracts, reporting, and people, often across several acquisitions at once. The work is a project office that keeps sellers, platform management, and the deal team on one plan for months after closing. Most firms borrow a consultant for it or hand it to a platform executive who already has a full job. The project managers who have run integrations end to end sit inside consolidators and advisory practices, and they are not looking.

How we reach them.

  • Every search starts with the integration project managers who are in the seat right now, in Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. Someone who has carried integrations through a roll-up is the platform's institutional memory, and the platform pays to keep them.
  • 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 planning exercise: a three-location add-on closing in two weeks, turned into a 100-day integration plan with workstreams, owners, and the first ten actions.
  • A status exercise: five conflicting workstream updates rewritten as one page the platform CEO can act on.
  • The same scorecard and reference checks we run on our own hires, with references from the people who actually managed them. We put forward only people we would hire ourselves.

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.

  • You run a buy-and-build strategy with more than one add-on a year.
  • Integration work lands on a platform executive who already has a full job.
  • You want a standing integration office instead of a consultant per deal.
  • You need a hands-on specialist to migrate an ERP or rebuild finance.
  • You have one acquisition and no plan for more.
  • You need someone on site at every acquired location.
