LA28 Expands Sport Operations Team Ahead of Olympic and Paralympic Games

The Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games (LA28) has announced a series of new sport-related job openings as preparations accelerate for what will be the largest sport program in Olympic and Paralympic history.

The organisation’s Sport Department is rapidly scaling its workforce to manage the planning and delivery of the multi-venue, multi-sport event set to take place across Los Angeles in 2028. The newly listed roles reflect a key operational phase in LA28’s readiness strategy and a growing focus on sport-specific expertise.

Current vacancies include:

• Manager, Sport Workforce and Planning
• Sport Manager, Cricket
• Sport Manager, Sailing
• Associate, Competition Management
• Olympian/Paralympian Athlete Fellowship

The sport manager positions, in particular, require candidates with direct competition delivery experience within the designated sport, ensuring operational excellence across disciplines that will make their Olympic debut or return in 2028 — including cricket, which reenters the Games for the first time since 1900.

The hiring push underscores LA28’s transition from planning to delivery, with the committee seeking to assemble a high-performance team capable of coordinating the largest sport portfolio ever staged.

Beyond technical expertise, the inclusion of an Olympian/Paralympian Athlete Fellowship reflects LA28’s commitment to leveraging athlete experience in the Games’ operational design.

The recruitment drive follows LA28’s broader mission to build an inclusive, sustainable, and community-driven Olympic and Paralympic movement that showcases Los Angeles as a global hub for sport and innovation.

Interested candidates can explore detailed job descriptions and application links via LA28’s official careers portal. Additional hiring waves are expected as the organising committee continues expanding in the lead-up to the Games.
