what is the difference between a project manager and a account manger?
Asked by farhanahmed
Can these both be the job description of one person? I mean one person doing both? or how do they differ in job description wise? any1 here is an avaya account or a project manger who can give a better response....

Best Answer:
Generally, no, a project manager is not the same thing as an account manager. A project manager is usually a coordinator between different teams to ensure that a project, such as a construction project, gets done on time and within budge. An account manager is someone that, in general, will be in contact with customers or vendors to coordinate with them based on the customers needs or the companies needs. It doesn't get much more simple than that. They're two different job discriptions for two very different jobs.

Answer before is exactly right. Project managers spend their time putting people and resources together to create, manage and finish projects. Account managers are responsible for the relationship between the company they represent and the client. They spend their day generally fixing problems and helping to secure new deals with existing clients.
