We’re agog. That’s not just our name. It’s how we feel about a whole new form of communication that is quickly emerging. Agog: The Immersive Media Institute is helping creators and nonprofit leaders harness the power of extended reality (XR) technologies, like virtual reality and augmented reality, to open new avenues for empathy, understanding, and activism.

We believe these new tools can help put humanity on a trajectory to a better future. Our initial areas of focus include social justice and equity; high-impact storytelling; research, education, and outreach; and policy and ethics. Founded by Wendy Schmidt and Chip Giller and guided by an accomplished advisory board, Agog is poised for big impact as an ecosystem builder across the XR industry, the nonprofit sector, philanthropy, academia, and beyond. 

The Operations Associate supports the day-to-day operational functions that keep Agog running effectively. This role exists to ensure smooth execution of core processes across finance, vendor management, infrastructure, and team operations. The position plays an important supporting role in maintaining organizational systems, coordinating logistics, and improving internal workflows.

This role contributes to the overall health of the organization by ensuring operational tasks are executed accurately, efficiently, and with attention to detail.
