Testimonials

Trusted by teams that hire with us

LATAM has been a gold mine for talent. Our CloudTask hires understand our company culture and mission, and they connect with our customers in a way that drives high NPS and CX scores.

David Barrett CEO, Expensify
At first we were an SF-based team only. Then I met Amir Reiter back in 2018. After visiting Medellín, I knew LATAM would be key to our growth and success.

Tim Zheng CEO, Apollo.io
After meeting my CX and CS team in Medellín, we immediately loved the culture and the work ethic. As a European-HQ company, we found LATAM to be perfect to service our American clients.

SKILLS

Top capabilities to look for in a project manager

A certification says someone knows the vocabulary. These are the capabilities that decide whether your projects land on the date you promised.

Planning that survives contact

A plan with owners, dependencies and dates that people actually agreed to, and the discipline to replan in the open when reality moves.
Communication as the main job

Most of project management is making sure the right people know the right thing at the right time. Clear written updates matter more than any tool.
Raising risk early

Saying a date is at risk while there is still time to act, instead of reporting it as missed the week it was due.
Managing people they do not manage

Getting commitments from teams, vendors and clients who do not report to them, and following up until the work is done.
Scope and change control

Writing down what is in and out, and handling new requests as trade-offs instead of silently absorbing them.
Reporting that drives decisions

Status, budget and resourcing in a format a busy stakeholder reads in two minutes and can act on.
Vendor and client coordination

Implementations and rollouts usually involve people outside your company. A strong project manager keeps them aligned without escalating every delay.
AI where it saves a step

Meeting summaries, first drafts of status notes and action lists. Useful for speed, never for deciding what the stakeholder needs to hear.

HIRING GUIDE

How to hire a virtual project manager

Hiring a project manager is usually a symptom: work is slipping, and nobody owns the dates. This guide covers what a remote project manager actually does, which kind you need, and when a project manager is not the fix.

What does a virtual project manager do?

The same job as an in office project manager, done remotely: turning a goal into a plan with owners and dates, running the cadence of check-ins, tracking progress, raising risks and keeping stakeholders informed.

Remote does not change the work. It raises the bar on written communication, because the updates, decisions and action lists have to be clear enough to stand on their own.

Which kind of project manager do you need?

Operational project managers run client implementations, onboarding programs, rollouts across sites and internal initiatives. That is the profile this page is about, and where the people in our network come from.

Technical program managers who run software teams through sprints and releases are a different search. If that is what you need, say so on the first call and we will tell you straight away whether we can match it.

What is most of a project manager's job?

Communication. The plan is written once; keeping everyone aligned to it happens every day, and that is where most of the hours go.

That is why the interview should test written updates and difficult conversations, not only methodology.

When is a project manager not the fix?

When the real problem is that nobody has decided what the priorities are. A project manager can run a plan. They cannot create authority that the leadership team has not given them.

It is also the wrong hire when there is one project, it is small, and the person doing the work can track it themselves. Hire a project manager when several streams of work have to land together, or when the same kind of project repeats and needs a consistent owner.

What should I look for in the interview?

Ask about a project that slipped. You want to hear when they saw it coming, who they told, and what they changed. Someone who only has stories about projects that went well has either been lucky or is not telling you everything.

Then give them a messy scenario: three stakeholders, one date, and a dependency on a vendor who has gone quiet. Ask for the first message they would send, and read it.

Red flags in project manager candidates

Every project went well. Ask about one that slipped. A candidate who has no example, or who noticed only the week the date was missed, will report your risks as misses instead of raising them while there is still time to act.

A first message you cannot act on. In the scenario with three stakeholders and a quiet vendor, read the message they write. If it is long, vague or asks for nothing specific, that is what every status update from them will look like.

Methodology instead of delivery. A candidate who talks fluently about frameworks and vocabulary but cannot walk you through a project they delivered, with the owners and dates, knows the language of the job more than the job.

Absorbing every request. Ask how they handled a new request in the middle of a project. Someone who just added it to the plan, without a trade-off or a conversation about scope, will let your dates move quietly.

Escalating every delay. If their answer to a vendor or client going quiet is to hand it up to their manager straight away, they have not yet learned to get commitments from people who do not report to them.

How long before a new project manager is effective?

Expect the first two weeks to go on access, stakeholders and the current state of every project in flight. By the end of the first month they should be running the weekly cadence on their own.

The fastest ramp comes from handing over one project fully rather than a slice of everything.

How much does it cost to hire a project manager?

It depends on seniority, the kind of projects, the language requirement and the country the person works from, and any single number describes one scenario and calls it a price.

What is worth understanding is the shape. On Managed Staffing it is one all-in monthly rate per person with payments, compliance and replacement cover inside it. On Direct Hire it is a one-time fee and the person goes on your payroll. We quote your number before you interview anyone.

Why hire a project manager in Latin America?

Overlap. A project manager spends the day in conversation with your team, your vendors and your clients, and Latin America and the Caribbean share most of the US working day.

The second reason is English, spoken and written, all day, with people who are not on your payroll. We screen it live on a call rather than inferring it from a profile.

How does CloudTask hire for this role?

You send the kind of projects, the tools and the hours you need covered. We come back with 3 to 5 matched profiles within 48 hours, each one screened on a live call and verified against the stack you named.

You interview and choose. On Managed Staffing we handle payments, compliance and onboarding and stay involved with check-ins. On Direct Hire the person joins your payroll from day one. Both carry a replacement guarantee: 24 months on Managed Staffing, 6 months on Direct Hire.

FAQ

The fine print, in plain terms.

Can a remote project manager run projects with on site teams?

Yes, if the cadence is set up for it: a clear weekly rhythm, a single place where status lives, and a named contact on site for anything that needs someone physically present.

Do you place technical project managers for software teams?

This page covers operational project management: implementations, onboarding, rollouts and internal programs. If you need someone to run engineering sprints, tell us on the first call and we will say straight away whether we can match it.

Is a PMP certification required?

Not for most operational roles. It shows familiarity with the vocabulary. Evidence of projects delivered, and of how the candidate handled one that slipped, tells you more.

How fast can a project manager start?

You get 3 to 5 matched profiles within 48 hours. After you choose, plan for the first two weeks to go on access, stakeholders and the state of every project in flight.

What is the $299 for?

It starts your search. One time, not a subscription. It applies to your first placement or toward a buyout, so it is not an extra cost, it is the first part of one.

Why is there no number on the monthly rate?

Because it depends on the role, the seniority and the country. We quote the all-in monthly rate per person before you interview, so you know the number before you commit to anyone.

Who is the legal employer?

On Managed Staffing, CloudTask is the contracting party and handles payments and compliance, and you direct the work. On Direct Hire, you employ and manage the hire from day one.

How does tracking work, and can I turn it off?

On Managed Staffing, time and activity tracking is on by default. Talk to us about your setup when you start your search.

What happens if the person does not work out?

Managed Staffing carries a 24-month replacement guarantee, and replacements are not capped. Direct Hire carries a 6-month replacement guarantee: one replacement for the same job description.

Is there a platform or subscription fee?

No. $299 starts your search, one time, and applies toward your first placement. There is no subscription.
