Why Latin America for operations & project managers.

Operations work is meetings, follow-ups and vendors, all of which happen during US business hours. Latin American ops managers have run those rhythms for US companies for years, and the region’s business schools in Bogotá, Mexico City, Santiago and Buenos Aires produce plenty of people who can model a process and then fix it.

MexicoUTC−6

Mexico City and Guadalajara

Scale. With about 130 million people and the largest economy in Spanish-speaking Latin America, Mexico has more engineers, accountants and bilingual professionals than any other nearshore country.

Hire in Mexico ColombiaUTC−5

Bogotá and Medellín

The time zone is the whole argument. A Bogotá employee works the complete Eastern and Central business day and six to seven hours of the Pacific day, with no daylight-saving shuffle because Colombia never changes its clocks.

Hire in Colombia ChileUTC−4 in the US summer

Santiago and Valparaíso

Strong business schools and consulting experience.

Hire in Chile ArgentinaUTC−3

Buenos Aires and Córdoba

English. Argentina has ranked first in Latin America on the EF English Proficiency Index for most of the last decade. In creative and knowledge roles, that shows.

Executive assistantsFinance & accountingData & analytics
01Can a nearshore project manager run a team of US employees?

Yes. Project management is coordination, and the time zone makes it work. Many of our placements run projects whose contributors are in the US.

02Do you place chiefs of staff?

Yes, for founders and executives who want one person owning the operating rhythm. We shortlist senior candidates with prior experience next to a CEO.

03Which certifications do they hold?

PMP, Scrum and Six Sigma are common. We treat certifications as a signal, not a requirement; the live case tells us more.

04Can I hire a nearshore operations manager through staffing or recruitment?

Either. With nearshore staffing, nearshore.now employs the operations manager in their country and you pay a flat monthly fee. With nearshore recruitment, we run the same search and vetting, and you hire the operations manager directly for a one-time fee.
