The role of Senior Associate, Venue Look of the Games, is a pivotal position within LA28’s Look & Signage (LNS) team. This role involves developing and executing the visual identity at competition and non-competition venues throughout the Games. The Senior Associate’s responsibilities are multi-dimensional, from scoping and planning to delivery, maintenance, and eventual decommissioning of venue-specific visual elements. This candidate will work closely with a variety of stakeholders including Brand, Sport, Venue Management, Venue Infrastructure, Broadcast, and Photo teams to ensure alignment with LA28’s overarching Games-wide strategy.

Furthermore, this role demands translating the creative direction from the central design team into actionable and venue-specific plans which reflect the LA28 brand while enhancing the overall athlete and spectator experience. This involves providing design feedback considering venue constraints and operational needs and advocating for the brand’s vision at every stage. The Senior Associate will serve as the main liaison between assigned venues and the LNS central team, keeping all parties informed on progress, challenges, and changes to guarantee seamless implementation.

Beyond planning and design, the Senior Associate manages on-site operations during the Games, overseeing the installation, maintenance, and removal of Look assets while ensuring strict adherence to quality and brand standards. This includes managing contractors, suppliers, and acting as the venue’s primary representative for Look and Brand related matters. The position prioritizes collaboration across multiple functional areas to determine optimal asset placement for visibility and impact, while supporting stakeholder communication and presentation efforts.

This position offers an annual base salary range of $73,000 to $95,000. It is an onsite role based in Downtown Los Angeles, requiring flexibility in working hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, especially during event peaks.
