The way I see it. Project management is related to a specific project, in a digital advertising agency an Ad Campaign could be a project or a site revamp also. A project managers are accountable for delivery projects on time and on budget.

Operations is how the company operates, the building blocks and processes that make it work. Someone who leads operations will be asked to keep and eye on the utilization rate of ressources and be accountable for it.

In our company, the Director of operations reports directly to the CEO, a project manager would report to the Director of operations.
