How We Secured a Senior Associate to Power a High-Growth Financial Firm
Our client, a fast-growing financial firm, needed a Senior Associate to strengthen its Go-To-Market (GTM) team, responsible for driving sales and ensuring customer success across both sellers and buyers.
The role was critical for supporting buy-side members by managing client interactions, ensuring data accuracy, and maintaining high service standards.
Key obstacles:
- High local costs: Comparable U.S. roles averaged $6,500/month.
- Limited capacity: The internal team couldn’t take on a long hiring process.
- Untapped opportunity: Aware of LATAM talent but without the network or expertise to hire effectively.
They needed a skilled professional who could integrate quickly, deliver measurable results from day one, and avoid the costs and delays of local hiring.
The Solution: Skilled LATAM Senior Associate with Immediate GTM Impact
After a kick-off call with South recruiters, the company quickly defined the ideal candidate profile:
- 2–6 years of professional experience
- Strong background in B2B sales, account management, or customer success
- Exceptional English communication skills
- Proven high performance and attention to detail
- Experience in fast-paced, client-facing roles
South placed a Latin America–based Senior Associate who immediately took ownership of key client relationships, strengthened GTM operations, and delivered results at a fraction of U.S. hiring costs.
The Results: Strategic Client Management, Measurable Growth, and Seamless Integration
Paul joined the team from El Salvador, bringing a rare mix of commercial expertise and strategic insight from the financial and technology sectors.
He stood out for:
- Proven enterprise portfolio management: Oversaw 75–90 enterprise accounts with high retention rates.
- Strategic consulting approach: Identified upsell and cross-sell opportunities while optimizing client operations.
- Data-driven performance: Delivered against evolving metrics — from MRR to NRR, GRR, and contract conversions.
- Relationship-building skills: Combined daily virtual interactions with regular on-site visits to strengthen partnerships.
- Adaptability and business acumen: MBA in Digital Business and Strategy, enabling success in fast-changing environments.
With his analytical thinking, client-first approach, and commercial drive, Paolo became a trusted GTM team member, creating immediate impact and long-term value.
