Reporting to the Head of Medical Operations, you will lead Venue Medical Teams and make operational calls where clinical judgment, Games policy, and local emergency systems meet. The work is demanding and often ambiguous: you will design services long before venues exist, then prove them through test events. It suits a clinician-operator who prioritizes well under incomplete information.
Key Responsibilities:- Lead all venue-based medical services, owning planning, execution, and operational decision-making across competition and non-competition venues.
- Direct Venue Medical Managers and field-of-play teams, integrating federation expertise and NOC/NPC medical delegations into Venue Medical Teams.
- Define staffing, equipment, and scope of services for athletes, workforce, and spectators, and ensure teams are trained in emergency response, sports medicine, and federation-specific medical codes.
- Manage emergency planning with local EMS, hospitals, and public safety authorities; develop venue contingency protocols and run scenario-based training and test events.
- Build partnerships with hospitals, EMS providers, and public authorities on disaster preparedness and public health surveillance.
- Ensure adherence to medical regulations and Games policies, and oversee medical manuals, guides, and training materials.
Required Competencies- Minimum 10+ years' experience in management and oversight of department.
- Bachelor's degree required. Master's degree in a sports medicine related field is highly preferred.
- Relevant medical or emergency management and instructor certifications (e.g., ATC, Paramedic) are a plus.
- Strategic thinker with strong operational execution; an effective problem-solver able to manage change.
- Collaborative, adaptable, and resourceful, with excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.
Valued Experience- Experience building and leading multi-disciplinary clinical teams.

What We Offer- Real ownership: you define how venue medical services integrate into the Games
- Decision scope across venues, with the trust to make the call.
- A cross-functional teammate network spanning Sport, Security, and public agencies.
- Transferable leadership experience from an operation few clinicians ever get to run.
What This Role Means for the GamesEvery athlete and spectator depends on medical care being ready before it is needed. Your planning turns that expectation into a system that teammates can run at any venue, on any day of the Olympic and Paralympic Games
