Giménez's career started in 2011 with Almirante Brown.[1][2] His debut arrived at the beginning of the 2011–12 Primera B Nacional season, when he played the final fifteen minutes in a goalless draw away to Rosario Central on 1 October 2011.[1] In February 2012, Giménez scored the first goal of his career in a 2–0 win over Defensa y Justicia.[1] After one goal in nineteen games in his first season, Giménez went onto make another sixty-nine appearances and score three more goals for the club across the next two seasons.[1] In June 2014, Giménez signed for fellow Primera B Nacional team Atlético Tucumán.[1] One goal in fifteen matches followed.[1]
