Post his education, he went on to join the publishing business where he did exceptionally well, eventually becoming the director of manufacturing companies.
For a span of four years (1983 – 1987), he serviced the Supreme Council of the Kyrgyz SSR.
Atambayev was one of the founding members of the Social Democratic Party in 1999 and appointed as the chairman of the same in 1999.

Post the resignation of the Prime Minister, Azim Isabekov in March, 2007, the President, Kurmanbek Bakiyev appointed Atambayev as the acting Prime Minister.
His Prime Ministerial post was later confirmed on 30th March by the parliamentary vote of 48-3, thus becoming the first Prime Minister ever to come from the opposition party.

Atambayev has displayed interest in the strengthening economic ties with Russia and also showed willingness to join the Russian led Eurasian Customs Union.
Looking at the long term perspective, he had plans to implement the withdrawal of the American base from Kyrgyzstan in 2014 and in turn develop closer ties with Russia for its economic and energy autonomy in future.
For Kyrgyzstan’s Kant airbase, Atambayev called for a sum of $15 million that Russia owed to Kyrgyzstan while on a visit to Moscow in 2012.
