Founding Product Manager, Atlas Intelligence
About The Position
Atlas Obscura is the world's leading guide to hidden wonders, helping millions of curious travelers discover the extraordinary. They are building the next generation of tools to do this through Atlas Intelligence, a new unit focused on the data of travel discovery. This unit believes that user, content, and distribution data can guide consumers and clients toward the extraordinary, with human taste as a differentiator in a world of automated discovery. Atlas Intelligence is launching with Destination Intelligence, a B2B platform measuring how destinations appear in AI search for Destination Marketing Organizations and travel brands, and Automotive Intelligence, a similar platform for the auto sector. The team is also working on using their own content data to bring human taste into automated platforms and partners.
Requirements
- A genuine data scientist's toolkit — comfort with data, probabilities, and statistical reasoning; the ability to look at a dataset, ask sharp questions, model a score, and translate the result into a product decision
- Ability to build a data-driven web product yourself — front-end development (React/TypeScript or similar), SQL query design, and score/metric modeling. You've shipped working software, not just specs
- A working understanding of how LLMs and AI search actually function, and fluency with AI build tools (Claude Code or similar)
- 3+ years of product management or equivalent ownership experience, ideally with data products or analytics platforms
- Client-facing experience — you've sat with users, run demos, gathered feedback, and turned it into product
- Self-starter energy — you're comfortable being a team of one, wearing every hat, and moving fast
- Excellent written and verbal communication
Nice To Haves
- Background in travel, hospitality, destination marketing, or media
- Experience with B2B SaaS go-to-market
- Experience with modern data visualization tools (Recharts, D3, Plotly)
Responsibilities
- Conceive the products and own them end to end — from idea to shipped feature
- Set up the data queries and model the scores and metrics at the core of each product — and be able to defend the methodology
- Engineer the front end yourself using Claude Code, with backend and data-collection support from our SVP of Engineering
- Define the metrics, visualizations, and reporting that make our products indispensable
- Translate AI-search and content data into insights that DMOs, travel brands, and our own consumers can act on
- Work with clients directly to understand needs, run demos, and turn feedback into product
- Help us go from one paying customer to several in your first six months
- Take these platforms from V1 to category-defining products, and chart what Atlas Intelligence becomes next.
