Why this seat is hard to fill.

SEO agency accounts create pressure around ranking movement, content delivery, technical blockers, link velocity, and slow client patience. Vela searches for professionals who understand audits, content plans, technical tickets, rank movement, and monthly reporting, not generic remote hires who need the agency model explained from scratch.

How we reach them.

  • Every search starts with the SEO agency operations managers who are in the seat right now, in Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. Once someone has fixed how the work moves, they are 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 reporting inputs and repeated manual handoffs.
  • Tool familiarity across Ahrefs, Semrush, Screaming Frog, Google Search Console, GA4, plus the project and communication surfaces the agency already uses.
  • The same scorecard and reference checks we run on our own hires. 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.

  • Your SEO agency needs someone who owns how the work moves, not another disconnected handoff.
  • Clients need clearer communication around visibility changes.
  • You want a currently-employed professional headhunted from real agency context.
  • You need a back-office admin.
  • You want the cheapest available remote hire.
  • You expect a job post to reach the same professionals Vela headhunts.
