Project Management Team
Introduction
Project managers at Tangible act as a buffer between clients and our implementation team, and keep projects running smoothly. In many companies, these responsibilities are split into two distinct roles: account managers and project managers. Project managers at Tangible take on both roles, but are assisted by strategists.
The project management team meets in #team-project-managers on Fridays at 12pm Eastern.
