Demand Generation Leader (Home Care Marketing)
Local Agency: BrightStar Care
Location: Bannockburn, IL
Position Type: Full Time (Salaried)
Req ID: 172462
The Demand Generation Leader owns BrightStar Care's lead generation pipeline across three audiences: consumers seeking home health care, health system and enterprise B2B partners, and prospective caregivers and clinical staff. This role is the pipeline engine of BrightStar's marketing function — designing, executing, and continuously optimizing the strategies that fill the commercial funnel with qualified opportunities for franchisees across the network.
This is a hands-on leadership role with real revenue accountability. The Demand Generation Leader is measured by qualified leads, conversion rates, and marketing's contribution to franchisee AUV growth — not impressions or awareness metrics. They report to the Sr. Director, Performance Marketing & Demand Generation and work in close daily partnership with the Campaign Management Leader, the HubSpot Marketing Operations Manager, and the B2B & Enterprise Marketing Manager.

| Two Audiences, One Owner Consumer lead generation and caregiver/clinical recruitment marketing are two distinct channels with different buyer journeys, messaging requirements, and conversion metrics. The Demand Generation Leader is the single owner of strategy across both — coordinating with channel specialists and cross-functional partners to ensure each audience gets the right approach without adding unnecessary management layers. |
01 | Consumer Demand Generation |
- Own consumer lead generation strategy — the programs that generate home health care inquiries from individuals and families seeking care for themselves or aging loved ones
- Identify audiences, set goals, develop key messages and CTAs.
- Build and manage consumer lead nurture sequences in HubSpot — ensuring inquiries not immediately ready to convert receive consistent, relevant follow-up
- Set consumer lead quality standards in partnership with the Sr. Director — defining what a qualified consumer lead looks like and holding channel programs accountable to producing those leads, not just volume
- Track consumer pipeline performance end to end — from first impression through to franchisee consultation booked — and report on marketing's contribution to franchisee revenue with clear attribution against GMF spend
02 | Caregiver and Clinical Recruitment Marketing |
- Own caregiver and clinical staff recruitment demand generation — the marketing programs that drive prospective caregivers, nurses, and clinical professionals to franchisee career opportunities
- Design and execute recruitment marketing programs that reach the right candidates in franchisee markets — paid job board advertising, social recruiting, organic content, and local market strategies
- Build recruitment lead nurture programs that maintain candidate engagement through the application and onboarding stages — reducing time-to-hire for franchisees
- Track recruitment pipeline performance by franchisee market — correlating recruitment marketing spend to open position fill rates and flagging markets where staffing shortfalls connect to insufficient recruitment marketing coverage
03 | HubSpot Pipeline Design and Marketing Automation |
- Develop and maintain the demand generation architecture within HubSpot — lead scoring models, lifecycle stage definitions, pipeline structure, and automation workflow design across all three audience tracks
- Partner with the HubSpot Marketing Operations Manager on platform execution — providing the strategy and requirements the HubSpot Manager implements and maintains
04 | Testing, Optimization, and Performance Reporting |
- Manage and report on demand generation performance dashboard — reporting weekly on lead volume, quality, cost, and conversion by audience and channel to the Sr. Director
- Partner with the Campaign Management Leader to ensure channel execution reflects demand generation strategy — briefing campaign requirements clearly and reviewing campaign performance against pipeline targets
- 5+ years of demand generation experience with demonstrated success managing multi-audience lead generation programs that produce measurable pipeline contribution
- Strong expertise in lead scoring, lifecycle stages, pipeline management, marketing automation, and attribution.
- Experience with consumer, B2B, and recruitment demand generation across more than one audience type
- Strong analytical skills — building dashboards, interpreting performance data, and translating channel metrics into business outcome language
- Experience working in a distributed, multi-market, or franchise environment where demand generation must serve local market needs at scale
- Experience in healthcare, home health, or consumer services — understanding the trust-based buying journey for care decisions
- Recruitment marketing experience — job board advertising, social recruiting, and employer brand programs
- Familiarity with AI-assisted demand generation tools — predictive lead scoring, AI copywriting, automated audience segmentation
- Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Business, Communications, or a related field required
- Relevant certifications (HubSpot, Google Ads, Meta Blueprint) valued
- Remote within the United States with up to 10% Travel
- Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis without the need for current or future employer sponsorship
