Junior operators ready to start, vetted to the Vela standard.
Active sourcing for the seats below senior. We place junior customer success managers, executive assistants, and project managers from our LATAM bench, vetted on the same operator-led working call as our headhunted seniors. Three candidates within fourteen days.
Three seats. All vetted the same way.
The junior bench is narrow on purpose. We place the three roles agency owners hire most often outside the senior CSM seat, and we vet every candidate on a working call rather than a screening form.
- Owns 4 to 8 client accounts under a senior CSM's direction.
- Runs the weekly client cadence, prepares reporting, drafts QBR decks.
- Handles inbound client questions and surfaces issues to the senior.
- Coordinates with internal delivery teams on timelines and deliverables.
- Has run agency client work in your vertical's tools, not learned them in a bootcamp.
- Manages the founder's inbox, calendar, and meeting prep.
- Books travel, handles personal logistics, screens inbound requests.
- Drafts client communication and internal updates against your voice.
- Runs light project coordination across the leadership team.
- EST overlap, C1+ English, agency context familiar.
- Owns project timelines across 8 to 12 active client engagements.
- Runs the weekly internal status meeting and the client-facing status update.
- Coordinates handoffs between strategy, creative, media, and account.
- Tracks deliverables, deadlines, and scope creep before either becomes a problem.
- Has run agency project management before, not just learned a tool like Asana or ClickUp.
Faster than the senior search. Same vetting standard.
You answer a short brief. We translate it into the candidate profile and confirm before sourcing begins.
We pull from operators we have already interviewed and added to the LATAM bench. The first profile typically arrives within seven days.
Three vetted candidates within fourteen days. If none are a fit, the search continues at no additional cost.
Flat fee. No surprises.
Sixty-day replacement guarantee
If the hire does not work out within sixty days, we run the replacement search at no additional cost.
Seven-day first profile
The first vetted candidate is typically in your inbox within seven days. Three candidates within fourteen days.
Operator-level vetting
Every candidate has been interviewed on a working call. The same standard as our senior search, applied to a junior bench.
Custom role brief
Drafted from your intake call. You approve rather than author it.
Salary benchmarking
What junior CSMs and EAs earn in Medellín, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, and Bogotá. So the offer lands correctly the first time.

The junior page is not the senior page.
- Agencies hiring a junior CSM under an existing senior.
- Founders who need an executive assistant they can actually trust.
- Operations leads building out a project management seat.
- Owners who want a vetted bench rather than a marketplace résumé dump.
- Anyone hiring a second or third LATAM contractor and ready to scale the system.
- Anyone who needs a senior CSM or senior PM. Use the senior search instead.
- Roles outside customer success, executive support, or project management.
- Owners optimizing for sub-$1,000/month contractor pay.
- Teams without an existing senior or operator to direct the junior hire.
- Roles requiring US time zone presence past 6pm EST.
Same operator. Same vetting bar.
The junior page exists for one reason. Agency owners who hire a senior through Vela inevitably ask the next question: who do I hire under them, and who keeps the calendar moving while they run the work?
The answer used to be "post on a job board, hope for the best, sort through a hundred applications." That answer is unworkable, and it produces the same result every time: a hire who leaves in 90 days and resets the team's stride.
The junior page is the same operator vetting standard applied to an active LATAM bench. Three seats: junior CSMs, executive assistants, project managers. We have already interviewed every candidate we send. We know who has run agency client work and who has not. We know who lasts and who does not. The full Vela story lives on the senior search page.
The junior seat that actually compounds.
One thousand dollars to begin the search. Three vetted candidates within fourteen days. Two thousand on hire. A sixty-day replacement guarantee included.
