Interactive Project Manager, San Francisco Bay Area!

What’s on your plate for the next 3-6 months? Are you digitally savvy (but not too senior to be scrappy)? Are you good with internal and external clients? Do you speak creative/ux design and front-end development?  Can you work independently and do puzzles in the dark? How do you feel about caffeine?
