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 build the cost management discipline that keeps LA28's venue program financially sound for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Within Venue Infrastructure, you will own budgets, cash flow forecasts, and change control across a cluster of venues, collaborating with Venue Managers, Directors, Venue Delivery teams, and Finance. In the years leading up to the Games, you will establish how venue costs are estimated, monitored, and reported, translating contracts, invoices, and change requests into accurate, decision-ready financial information. This is demanding, cross-functional work with visible influence on how every Games venue is delivered.

Key Responsibilities

· Prepare and manage budgets and program budget categories across several venues in a sport cluster with Venue Managers and Directors.

· Forecast cash flows and prepare financial reporting with Finance, categorizing costs by agreed groups such as commodities, partners, and sports.

· Review and reconcile invoices against contract terms and purchase orders in partnership with Venue Delivery teams.

· Prepare, validate, and cost change requests and financial change orders, ensuring change is priced accurately within contractual terms.

· Evaluate Request for Proposal (RFP) financial submissions, prepare pre-tender estimates, and provide accurate budgets that support procurement.

Required Competencies

· Minimum 7 years of experience in project cost management or finance, including budgeting, cash flow forecasting, and cost reporting.

· Bachelor's degree; or 7 years of equivalent experience in project cost management or finance for infrastructure or capital programs.

· Experience with infrastructure projects and/or sport and events delivery, managing costs across multiple contracts, partners, and stakeholders.

· Expert knowledge of reporting tools such as Excel, Tableau, and Power BI to build clear, accurate financial reports.

· Strong analytical and stakeholder skills, working with key stakeholders to ensure accurate pricing of change within contractual terms.

Valued Experience

· Construction industry experience, which is considered highly desirable for this role.

· Project management experience supporting cost control and program delivery.

· Demonstrated commitment to co-creation and collaborative decision-making.

· Ability to work independently and adapt to changing priorities.

What We Offer

· Real ownership of venue budgets that shape how the Games are delivered.

· Career-defining exposure across venue infrastructure, finance, procurement, and delivery teams.

· Transferable expertise in cost management, forecasting, and change control on a global stage.

· A collaborative, high-trust team where teammates share success and support one another.

What This Role Means for the Games

Every venue where athletes compete and spectators gather depends on disciplined financial decisions. The budgets, forecasts, and change controls you manage help LA28 deliver its venues responsibly and transparently, so every venue is ready to welcome the world when the Olympic and Paralympic Games arrive in 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.
