Marketing Project Manager

Atlas Data Storage is an information technology company building data storage products leveraging the unique properties of synthetic DNA.  We’re seeking a Marketing Project Manager  to bring structure, clarity and operational excellence to Business Development and Marketing organization.

This is an opportunity to shape how our team operates by designing the workflows, tools, and rhythms that help us move from reactive execution to proactive impact. 

We’re happy to share that this is an onsite position in our South San Francisco office. To help foster team collaboration, we require that employees be in the office a minimum of three days per week: and as needed by your manager or the company. We believe that this working environment facilitates increased work efficiency, team partnership, and supports growth as an employee and organization.
