LA28 • Los Angeles, CA

9d • Onsite

About The Position

As Manager, Venue Planning and Operations within Broadcast Services, you help carry the Olympic and Paralympic Games to the world. In the years leading up to LA28, you plan how competition venues support world-class broadcast, partnering with the Olympic Broadcasting Services production teams and shaping the infrastructure behind every moment audiences see. This is a role of creation rather than maintenance: you establish the plans, standards and working relationships that barely exist yet, translating complex technical requirements into decisions that venue teams can actually deliver.

Requirements

• Minimum 5 years of relevant broadcast industry experience, preferably 7+ years working within broadcast production and live operations.
• Experience working alongside international broadcast organizations that are responsible for delivering global coverage of major sporting events.
• Proven success building excellent working relationships across a diverse and demanding range of internal and external stakeholders.
• Experience working across multiple functional areas to move complex technical venue plans forward toward confident delivery.
• Comfortable securing buy-in from senior external rights holders, including both the International Olympic and International Paralympic Committees.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with temporary or overlay broadcast infrastructure at major multi-venue events.
• Experience delivering broadcast plans across a multi-venue portfolio simultaneously.
• Direct exposure to host broadcaster planning processes and approval cycles.
• Bachelor's degree preferred, or equivalent practical experience.

Responsibilities

• Serve as primary contact for Olympic Broadcasting Services production teams, leading broadcast planning and information exchange.
• Lead World Broadcaster Meetings and briefings, managing deliverable submissions and the flow of technical information.
• Support infrastructure and technical planning for competition venues, translating broadcast requirements into workable venue plans.
• Lead site visits to competition venues, assessing broadcast infrastructure needs and informing planning decisions accordingly.
• Partner across Venue Infrastructure, Technology, Hospitality and Ticketing and Games Operations to streamline approvals and optimizations.
• Perform other duties as required; the role will evolve over time and may include operational responsibilities during the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Benefits

• A historic opportunity to shape how the Games reach a truly global audience.
• Rare cross-functional breadth across venues, technology and international broadcast partners.
• Accelerated learning and transferable skills that outlast the Games themselves.
• A collaborative, inclusive team where trust and shared success come first.
