Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At MOPOP, we are dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workplace.

If you are excited about a role but your past experience doesn't align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the candidate we are looking for!

Our Commitment to DEIA

MOPOP sees pop culture as a dynamic history that shapes the world through creative expressions in film, fashion, music and gaming. We're committed to collaborating with staff and community to foster equity and disrupt inequitable power dynamics.

Our mission centers on harnessing the transformative power of pop culture through meaningful interaction. Based in Seattle, we serve diverse audiences and draw connections between local, national, and global cultural narratives.

Diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) are core to our practices, and guide our exhibition choices and strategies. We invite you to join us in building an inviting, transformative institution that ensures pop culture is for everyone.
