Los Angeles is gearing up for the world’s biggest stage as preparations accelerate for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. With millions of visitors expected and a global audience in the billions, LA28 is doing more than organizing a sports spectacle — it is shaping a historic workforce movement that is already opening doors for thousands of professionals across Southern California.
Behind the scenes, the LA28 Organizing Committee is building one of the most diverse, innovative, and community-driven teams ever assembled for an international event. The organization is calling on creators, strategists, technologists, project managers, community leaders, and visionaries to help deliver a Games that reflects the vibrancy of Los Angeles. The committee’s official careers page — www.la28.org/careers.html — lays out a broad range of opportunities designed to engage both seasoned experts and emerging talent.
“We’re not just planning an event,” LA28 leadership has emphasized in recent public updates. “We’re designing a legacy that will impact communities, local economies, and the future of sport in America.”
The effort aligns with LA28’s core values: optimism, boldness, inclusion, co-creation, and excellence. These pillars shape every department’s approach — from sustainability and technology to community engagement and operational planning. As Los Angeles continues to expand its influence as a hub for creative industries, entertainment, tech, and social impact, LA28 is creating new pathways for residents who want to contribute to a monumental moment in city history.
Current hiring focuses include:
-
Large-scale event operations and logistics
-
Community partnerships and stakeholder outreach
-
Technology and digital innovation
-
Sustainability, environmental planning, and accessibility
-
Marketing, media relations, and brand development

Local leaders note that the employment impact of LA28 extends far beyond the Games themselves. Many positions will influence long-term infrastructure, leadership development, youth engagement programs, and new economic opportunities that continue after the closing ceremonies.
