Marketing Operations & Project Manager
Systems & Process Optimization

Headshot of Jen Merkel

I build the systems, frameworks, and processes that make marketing teams run smoothly without chaos behind the scenes. With 15+ years across B2B SaaS, events, and service industries, marketing operations and project management are at the core of how I work, from initial planning through final reporting.

I'm most energized by cross-functional collaboration, operational problem-solving, and building practical tools and workflows that bring clarity, consistency, and scalability to complex programs.
