Giménez's career began in 2006 with Deportivo Independencia, before a spell with Primera D team Atlas where he was loaned out to Defensores Unidos. After his loan with Defensores Unidos, Giménez joined Quilmes of Primera B Nacional before subsequently joining Defensores Unidos permanently.[1] After three years at the club, he completed a move to Primera B de Chile side Unión San Felipe.[2] Not long after joining Unión San Felipe, Giménez found himself out on loan to former club Defensores Unidos for the 2016 Primera C season.[2][4] In three spells, he scored twenty-six times in one hundred and seven games.[1]
After the 2016 campaign, Giménez joined Argentine Primera División club Arsenal de Sarandí on loan for the 2016–17 season.[2][3][5] He returned to Unión San Felipe at the end of December 2016.[6][7] On 16 February 2017, Giménez joined Paraguayan Primera División side Sol de América.[8][9] He made his debut for the club on 25 February in the league against Cerro Porteño, he scored a hat-trick in an away win.[2] Giménez made his Copa Sudamericana debut on 7 April, scoring two goals in a win versus Estudiantes.[2] His time with them was littered with indiscipline, with the forward going AWOL on three occasions.[10][11]
In August 2019, Giménez was loaned back to his hometown with Defensores Unidos; for his fourth spell with the Zárate-based outfit.[12][13] On 16 March 2020, Giménez joined Paraguayan División Intermedia club Atyrá FC.[14] He never appeared for them due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[15] Within the next few months, Giménez signed a pre-contract with Brazilian Série B outfit Náutico.[16] However, on 2 September, the move fell through after the forward asked for a pay increase.[17] Giménez subsequently went back to Paraguay, penning terms with Primera División team San Lorenzo on 6 October.[18]
On 22 January 2021, Giménez returned to Argentina with Primera B Metropolitana's Almirante Brown.[19] Giménez left Almirante a year later to join Defensores Unidos on 5 January 2022.[20]
