About the Museum

Opening September 2026, the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art is the first museum dedicated to visual storytelling. Located in Exposition Park, we’re looking for Traffic Directors to ensure every guest arrives safely and navigates our site with ease — creating a great first and last impression from the curb to the galleries.

Our Culture

We believe great service starts with great people. Our team thrives on taking pride in their work, staying calm when things get busy, showing up because the team counts on them, and supporting each other. We invest in our people and treat every role as essential.

The Position

You are the backbone of event-day safety. Whether it’s a USC game, a concert at BMO Stadium, or a major museum opening, you are responsible for coordinating the safe movement of both vehicles and pedestrians. You control crosswalks, manage entry and exit queues, and ensure emergency routes stay clear.

You’re not just waving a wand—you are the critical link between chaotic arrivals and smooth, injury-free departures. Your constant vigilance and professional communication directly protect guests, staff, and property.

• Stay continuously alert to changing conditions—scanning for conflicts, obstructions, and unsafe behavior

Incident Response & Guest Service

• Provide clear, courteous wayfinding and parking information to guests without making unauthorized promises
• Stay calm and professional during conflicts; use respectful de‑escalation and call for supervisor/security backup when needed
• Immediately report collisions, injuries, near misses, or property damage, and complete accurate incident reports before the end of your shift
