The Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games will be hosted in Los Angeles, California in 2028, returning to the United States for the first time in over 30 years. 2028 will be the first time LA hosts the Paralympic Games, creating an opportunity to expand awareness, understanding and inclusion of people with disabilities.

The ideal candidate will bring extensive experience in large-scale transport operations, preferably at Olympic, Paralympic, or comparable global events, and demonstrate strong leadership, stakeholder engagement, and decision-making skills under pressure. A commitment to sustainable, high-occupancy transport planning and cross-functional collaboration is essential to success in this role.
