Why this seat is hard to fill.

The senior account manager is the professional who can carry difficult client communication without pulling the founder into every moment.

How we reach them.

  • Every search starts with the senior account managers who are in the seat right now, in Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. At this level the seat comes with named accounts, and named accounts do not change hands quietly.
  • 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 senior client-escalation exercise with imperfect results and scope tension.
  • Written executive recap for founder-level visibility.
  • A context check around churn, upsell, renewal, and delivery reality.

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 accounts need senior communication without another US hire.
  • The founder is still the escalation path for too many clients.
  • You need someone who can hold trust while the team fixes the work.
  • You need an entry-level account coordinator.
  • You want a script-following support rep.
  • You are not prepared to pay for senior judgment.

What they said after we placed them.

Curated from companies who hired through Vela and professionals we placed. Their words, not ours.

HireTalent gave us exactly what we needed. They found someone with all the qualifications we were looking for, and Andres has been a really strong addition to our team.
