We are on a singular mission to create an Olympic and Paralympic Games that celebrate all that this city and country have to offer, delivering an unparalleled experience for athletes, fans, partners and our community.  

The 2028 Games mark the return of the Summer Games to the U.S. for the first time in 32 years and Los Angeles’ third time hosting an Olympic Games and first time welcoming the Paralympic Games. This presents the unique and exciting opportunity to celebrate our legacy with the Games and push the Olympic and Paralympic Movements forward, writing a new chapter of Games history in Los Angeles.  

Putting on an Olympic and Paralympic Games is a team sport. To build a Games unlike any the world has seen before, we need the best team in place–a team full of diverse perspectives, experiences and expertise. We are guided by the following set of values and behaviors–optimism, integrity, excellence, inclusion, co-creation and boldness–and look forward to hearing about how your past experiences align with them.

About the Digital Engagement & Marketing (DIG) Team 

The Digital Marketing (DIG) team drives LA28’s overarching marketing and fan engagement efforts. Within DIG, the Integrated Marketing function is responsible for developing holistic go-to-market plans for all fan-facing programs. We lead the marketing approach, messaging strategy, narrative direction, campaign development, and execution for the portfolio of LA28 programs—inclusive of Ticketing, Volunteer, Torch Relay, Mascot, and more. 

Integrated Marketing works cross-functionally with our internal digital counterparts (who manage LA28’s social, web, email, and app platforms), as well as a wide range of internal Functional Areas and external stakeholders. Ultimately, it is our responsibility to bring it all together, ensuring every program reaches the right audience with the right message, across the right platforms, at the right time.

The ideal candidate thrives at the intersection of strategy and operations, adding value to the creative work while seamlessly managing timelines, workflows, and relationships across internal teams, external agencies, and sports league partners. This person will be a key protector of the LA28 brand and a key contributor in building a legacy for the Olympic and Paralympic Movement.
