AARP operates a membership organization at scale—nearly 38 million members across all 50 states plus DC and territories—with a nonprofit structure focused on health security, financial resilience, and personal fulfillment for people 50 and older. The hiring mix skews heavily toward interns and marketing roles (28 positions), reflecting a member engagement and campaign-driven model; concurrent pain points around budget management, financial forecasting, and transaction processing suggest operational infrastructure strain as the organization scales advocacy and media campaigns nationally.
Notable leadership hires: State Director, Giving Director, Government Grants Director, Marketing Director, Project Management Director
