U.S. Waterproofing is hiring: Marketing Manager in Schaumburg

This is not just another marketing role—our entire business was built on lead generation.
We’re looking for someone who truly understands how powerful great marketing can be, and the impact this role can have on the entire company. The leads you generate directly fuel our sales engine, drive revenue, and shape the future growth of the business. 

We’re looking for a Marketing Manager with experience in the home services industry—someone who understands the urgency of seasonal demand, embraces competition, and refuses to stop until the targets are hit. If you’ve driven growth in industries like basement waterproofing, HVAC, plumbing, roofing, or remodeling, you know the stakes—and how satisfying it is to win.

This role calls for a driven, resourceful, and highly creative marketer who is as comfortable rolling up their sleeves to execute campaigns as they are analyzing results in Salesforce, Tableau, Marketing Cloud, or Looker Studio. Prior ad agency or multi-brand experience, with media planning is highly valued, as you’ll need to juggle multiple campaigns at once, pivot quickly, and thrive in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment.

You won’t just manage marketing—you’ll own the outcomes, raising the bar day to day, week after week.  We’re looking for someone who is deeply connected to their work—the kind of marketer who takes pride in the details, pushes through challenges, and is willing to go the extra mile to get it done.

Our ideal candidate is relentless, competitive, and hands-on—a marketing builder who pairs creativity with data discipline, thrives under pressure, and won’t stop until the job is done. This is a high-impact, on-site role at our Schaumburg headquarters, surrounded by a fast-moving, supportive, and growth-focused tea

While we’ve been in business for over 66 years, we operate with the energy of a startup—and we’re just getting started.  U.S. Waterproofing is the Midwest’s largest and most trusted basement waterproofing and foundation repair company. Family-operated since 1957, we’ve built our reputation on doing business the right way—with integrity, urgency, and an unwavering commitment to our customers. As a performance-driven, lead-generation powerhouse, we move fast, evolve constantly, and push for growth week after week. Our mission is simple yet powerful: protect homes, restore peace of mind, and set the standard for marketing excellence in the home services industry
