The posting

LA28 does not provide relocation assistance for any positions.

If you are based outside the Los Angeles area, we still welcome your application — we value talent from all geographic backgrounds and want to hear from you if you are able to work on-site in LA.

Role Purpose

You will lead how LA28 plans and delivers the road-based endurance events at the heart of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games: the Marathon, Road Cycling, and Triathlon. As Director, Road Sports, you own end-to-end planning, operational readiness, and delivery across complex courses that run through the streets of Los Angeles. In the years leading up to the Games, you will establish the plans, agreements, and agency relationships that make these events possible, shaping how road sport is delivered while keeping athletes, spectators, and communities at the center.

Key Responsibilities

· Lead the end-to-end planning, operational readiness, and delivery of road-based endurance events, including the Marathon, Road Cycling, and Triathlon.

· Build and manage multi-agency and road-city relationships across the Los Angeles region to enable event delivery.

· Negotiate permitting, jurisdictional agreements, and use agreements that secure road courses and event footprints.

· Coordinate public safety and traffic planning with partner agencies to protect athletes, spectators, and communities.

· Align priorities across city, county, and state partners, resolving scope and delivery challenges through collaboration.

Required Competencies

· Minimum 8+ years of experience leading large-scale, complex event operations, with proven delivery across the planning, readiness, and operational phases.

· Proven track record of leading the planning and delivery of large-scale, complex road event operations across multiple project phases.

· Multi-jurisdictional permitting experience and road event planning operations across complex public-road and community environments in a major metropolitan region.

· Significant stakeholder management experience across major, large-scale venue planning and operational delivery programs.

· Direct road-course experience and proven collaboration with city, county, and state partners on comparable large-scale events.

Valued Experience

· Past Games or large international competitions involving road-events planning.

· Experience delivering endurance events such as marathons, road cycling, or triathlon.

· Familiarity with Los Angeles or California permitting and road-closure coordination.

· Track record building relationships across public agencies and community stakeholders.

What We Offer

· Real ownership of the road-events program that helps deliver the Games.

· Career-defining leadership across public agencies, venues, and citywide delivery partners.

· Visible impact on events watched by millions across Los Angeles and the world.

· A high-trust team that values judgment, pragmatism, and enabling others.

What This Role Means for the Games

Road events are where the Games meet the city: free to watch, open to all, and seen around the world. Your leadership keeps these events safe, well-run, and ready, connecting the Olympic and Paralympic Games to the streets and communities of Los Angeles.

Physical Requirements & Working Conditions

· Available to work onsite in our Downtown Los Angeles-based office.

· The majority of work will be conducted in an office setting, requiring extended periods of time using computers, phones, and other office equipment.

· The LA28 office is an open floorplan working environment; employees must be able to work efficiently in an open cubicle environment.

· Hours of work may vary, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, especially during peak event periods.

· Perform other duties as required; the role will evolve over time and may include operational responsibilities during the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
