Role Purpose

The Senior Associate, EVS Spectator Communications helps shape how millions of spectators experience the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games. In the years leading up to the Games, you will create clear, engaging communications that guide fans, volunteers, staff and operational stakeholders, establishing the spectator communications approach from the ground up. Partnering across Event Visitor Services and cross-functional teams, you will turn operational plans into accessible, inclusive messages that help every visitor feel informed, welcome and ready to enjoy the Games.

Key Responsibilities
  • Support the development and execution of spectator communications plans across every Event Visitor Services touchpoint.
  • Create clear, concise and engaging content for spectators, volunteers, staff and operational stakeholders across written, video and presentation formats.
  • Partner with EVS functional teams and cross-functional stakeholders to keep communications accurate, consistent and aligned with LA28 standards.
  • Develop training content and materials that prepare workforce members to support spectators through operational readiness milestones.
  • Manage communication deliverables, schedules and project tracking to support event readiness and enhance the overall guest experience.
Required Competencies

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent relevant professional experience, with relevant qualifications in communications or a related field preferred.
Valued Experience
  • Experience within an international sports or major events organization.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office for content and project delivery.
  • Strong attention to detail and high standards for quality.
  • Skilled at managing multiple detailed tasks under tight timelines.
  • Knowledge of local Los Angeles culture and communities.
What We Offer

  • Purpose-driven work that shapes the spectator experience for millions of fans worldwide.
  • A collaborative, inclusive and diverse team guided by the values of the Movement.
  • Room to grow your skills while creating something that has never existed before.
