Job Description

We are excited to announce the launch of Atlas Obscura's summer internship program, designed to provide educational hands-on experience to emerging talent.


Dates: Late May to August 2026

Program Overview

This summer, we will be welcoming interns across three strategic areas of our business. Each internship offers educational opportunities and direct exposure to Atlas Obscura's unique mission of inspiring wonder and curiosity about the incredible world we all share.

These training-based internships are unpaid, educational opportunities designed for students or recent graduates seeking practical experience in digital media, product research, community engagement, and business strategy. Interns will receive:
  • Hands-on training
  • Mentorship from AO team members
  • Real-world project experience
  • Exposure to a platform undergoing active transformation

Internship Tracks for 2026

To ensure clarity, focus, and meaningful learning, we have structured the internship program into three strategic tracks aligned to AO’s growth and platform strategy.

Interns will be embedded in one of the following areas, with project scopes that support learning while adding value to AO’s community, product, and insights flywheel.

 
  1. Community + Creator Engagement: Our interns will learn about the daily content scheduling and posting across Atlas Obscura's social channels. These positions offer hands-on education with social media strategy, content calendar management, video and text content creation, creator collaborations and audience engagement across multiple platforms, providing valuable insight into digital marketing. 
 
  1. Product Development: Our intern will support the development of digital experiences that help curious travelers explore, plan, and share their adventures. This role is ideal for someone with a design mindset who is excited to learn how product, UX, and storytelling intersect. Interns will gain hands-on experience in product research, user experience design, prototyping, and cross-functional collaboration.
 
  1. Business Development: Our intern will contribute to projects that support Atlas Obscura’s commercial growth and partnerships strategy. This role is well-suited for someone who is analytical, curious about the business side of media and travel, and eager to learn how partnerships are sourced, evaluated, and developed.
 

Atlas Obscura is committed to building a diverse team that reflects the community we serve. We encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds and experiences.
