The Olympics Playbook

This is a focused, high impact strategic guide designed for experienced event professionals who want to understand how the Olympic ecosystem actually works and how to position themselves within it.

As someone who has worked at the Olympics and interviewed others who also have, I’m sharing the research systems, hiring pattern insights, and positioning frameworks I use when navigating major global event environments like the Games. Like:

Opening ceremonies
Host city organising committees
Global sponsors activating worldwide
International federations
Major suppliers who move from Games to Games

And yet… you might be wondering:

“How can I actually work there?”
“Why do some people move city to city with the Games?”
“When do they actually hire?”
“Is it too early or too late to do this for the next Olympics?"

This guide answers those questions clearly, strategically, and honestly.

Inside, you’ll get:

How the Olympics world actually operates, beyond what appears on job boards
My structured weekly Olympic research routine (built around Games cycles, not random searching)
Strategic AI prompts to uncover suppliers, hiring signals, and organisational patterns
Application timing guidance: who hires early vs who scales later
Common Olympic application mistakes and how to avoid misalignment
Networking research strategies using LinkedIn to identify past Games professionals and start smart conversations
Post-Games leverage routes: how to use one Games to level up (or build a multi-Games pathway)
Industry insight into how hiring momentum really builds inside the Olympic environment

Olympic roles don’t sit neatly in one place.

They sit across layers and across years. You don’t often just step into this ecosystem by chance. You move into it through timing, research, and positioning.

But if you’ve built your career in another event sector — corporate, agency, nonprofit, production — the Olympic world can feel opaque. Like there’s a structure everyone else understands.

This guide closes that gap. It connects being strong at events with understanding how the Olympic system hires, scales, and repeats.

This helps you understand the architecture and how to position yourself accordingly, get your name in the room, find work in the right place, and have your career aligned with the rhythm of the Games.
