Hire an SMMA CSM in Latin America.

Vela headhunts currently-employed SMMA CSMs in Latin America for US SMMAs, screens them on live agency work, and recruits the way we hire for our own team. Every search starts with people who already have the job, not the ones between them.

What this hire actually owns.

SMMA owners looking for a CSM who owns account health, client trust, renewal risk, and weekly communication.

Own

Owns account health and renewal risk across content calendars, creative approvals, paid social updates, and reporting.

Translate

Why this seat is hard to fill.

SMMA accounts create pressure around content calendars, paid social results, creator handoffs, reporting, and client expectation drift. Vela searches for professionals who understand content calendars, creative approvals, paid social updates, and reporting, not generic remote hires who need the agency model explained from scratch.

How we reach them.

  • Every search starts with the SMMA CSMs who are in the seat right now, in Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. Renewals hold because of them, and their employer knows the number.
  • 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 an account showing early churn signals and declining client confidence.
  • Tool familiarity across Meta Ads, Instagram, TikTok, Notion, Looker Studio, 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 SMMA needs someone who owns retention, not another disconnected handoff.
  • Clients need clearer communication around social and paid performance movement.
  • You want a currently-employed professional headhunted from real agency context.
  • You need an inbox-only support rep.
  • You want the cheapest available remote hire.
  • You expect a job post to reach the same professionals Vela headhunts.
