Remote COO Role LATAM - US Agency $85K USD — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
Fixed Hours — Not a Fully Async Role
This COO/Integrator position requires you to be available 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM US Eastern Time (UTC-5/UTC-4), Monday to Friday, with no second job permitted. This is a synchronous, leadership-heavy role, so true location-independent flexibility is limited — you must reliably hold that timezone every weekday.
For LATAM-based nomads, this is manageable from most of the region. Here's a quick timezone check:
- Medellín, Colombia (UTC-5): Perfect alignment with US Eastern. Excellent quality of life at ~$1,500–2,000/month. At $85K/year, you'd be earning many multiples above local costs.
- Buenos Aires, Argentina (UTC-3): 2 hours ahead of Eastern — mornings start at 11 AM local, very livable. COL cost of living is moderate.
- São Paulo, Brazil (UTC-3): Same as Buenos Aires offset. A higher cost city but still well below the $85K annual salary ceiling.
Nomad Visa Considerations: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico all offer digital nomad or freelance visa pathways for remote workers earning foreign income. This is a full-time employed role, so check whether your country of residence permits working remotely for a foreign employer under local tax rules.
No travel perks or coworking allowances are mentioned, so budget for your own workspace. The long-term incentive package could significantly boost total compensation over time.
About Us
At Remote Talent LATAM, we connect top Latin American talent with leading U.S. marketing agencies. We guide businesses and candidates through every step of the hiring process, ensuring the perfect match in skills, culture, and goals. While we're not direct employers, we act as a trusted partner, bridging the gap between exceptional talent and growing opportunities.
Our client is a US marketing agency serving medical aesthetics practices: med spas, plastic surgeons, and dermatologists. We help practices get found (websites, SEO, paid media), convert leads into booked patients (front-desk training, AI voice tools, CRM automation), and grow what each patient is worth (membership and consultation programs). The team is fully remote across the US, LATAM, South Africa, and the Philippines.
We are moving to an AI-first delivery model and building the software platform that runs it. The founder is stepping out of day-to-day operations to focus on major relationships, partnerships, and large deals, and runs the company on EOS (the Entrepreneurial Operating System).
The Role
This is the founder's #2: the person who turns his vision into a plan, runs the company week to week, holds every leader to their numbers, and champions the culture — so the company runs without the founder in the daily work. Externally the title is Chief Operating Officer (EOS Integrator). Internally the seat is called the Integrator. It reports to the founder and leads the division heads (delivery, client conversion and growth, account management, AI systems and product, finance).
Why it's open: The company has outgrown a founder-led structure. Operations, processes, and the leadership team need to be rebuilt, and this person leads that rebuild. Candidates should expect to build, not inherit, a mature operation.
Requirements
Must Have:
- Has led a team or division of roughly 15+ people, including managers
- Has owned a P&L, budget or delivery numbers, and can name before-and-after results
- Has removed or moved a leader out of a seat
- Can work 9:00 to 17:00 US Eastern, Monday to Friday, full time, with no second job
- LATAM candidates: English at C2 level, with proof (EF SET 71+, free at efset.org; Cambridge C2 Proficiency; or IELTS 8.5+)
- Not currently the owner of an agency with active clients
- Bachelor's degree
Strong Pluses:
- Has run EOS (Integrator seat) or a similar operating system
- Agency experience in SEO, web, paid media, or healthcare marketing
- Experience with medical, dental, or aesthetics practices
- Has led remote teams across several countries
- Has been through an agency acquisition, or prepared a company for sale
- Uses AI tools in their own work
Benefits & Compensation
- Salary starting at $85,000 USD per year
- Quarterly performance bonus of up to 20% of base, tied to company results
- A long-term incentive tied to company value (details at offer stage)
