NFL Legends, Your Next Chapter Starts Here — Join the American Heart Association

The American Heart Association is proud to partner with the NFL Player Care Foundation to help Legends explore meaningful second careers. We've seen firsthand how the leadership, discipline, and community spirit developed on the field translate seamlessly into success within our Development (Sales/Fundraising) teams across the nation.

Since our founding in 1924, we've cut cardiovascular disease deaths in half—but there’s more to do. To overcome today’s biggest health challenges, we need passionate individuals like you.

We offer a competitive base salary and the opportunity to earn significantly more in incentive pay based on performance. You’ll also have access to Heart U, our award-winning corporate university, and a culture that supports work-life harmony.

#TheAHALife is more than a company culture—it’s our way of life. Discover why you’ll Be Seen. Be Heard. Be Valued™ at the American Heart Association by following us on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, X, and at heart.jobs.
