Nonprofit funding diabetes research, education, and advocacy programs
The American Diabetes Association operates across research, patient education, and community fundraising with a 201–500 person team based in Arlington, VA. The organization is actively hiring across marketing, healthcare, development, and fundraising roles—with director-level positions representing the bulk of open searches—while simultaneously tackling internal challenges around peer-to-peer fundraising growth, camp program sustainability, and revenue target achievement. This hiring velocity and pain-point pattern suggests operational scaling pressure as the organization expands its event portfolio and grant-funded initiatives.
Notable leadership hires: Development Director, Licensing Director, Associate Director, Director, Youth Programs Director

Operating from Arlington, VA, the ADA serves patients, educators, and healthcare providers, with revenue flowing through grants, donations, and event-based fundraising.
