Job Description

Our Mission

Healthcare should work for patients, but it doesn’t. In their time of need, they call down outdated insurance directories. Then wait on hold. Then wait weeks for the privilege of a visit. Then wait in a room solely designed for waiting. Then wait for a surprise bill. In any other consumer industry, the companies delivering such a poor customer experience would not survive. But in healthcare, patients lack market power. Which means they are expected to accept the unacceptable.

Zocdoc’s mission is to give power to the patient. To do that, we’ve built the leading healthcare marketplace that makes it easy to find and book in-person or virtual care in all 50 states, across +200 specialties and +12k insurance plans. By giving patients the ability to see and choose, we give them power. In doing so, we can make healthcare work like every other consumer sector, where businesses compete for customers, not the other way around. In time, this will drive quality up and prices down.

We’re 18 years old and the leader in our space, but we are still just getting started. If you like solving important, complex problems alongside deeply thoughtful, driven, and collaborative teammates, read on.

Your Impact on our Mission

Zocdoc’s most important asset is our people. As a Staff Data Scientist, Marketplace, you’ll play a meaningful role in transforming healthcare by shaping how millions of patients discover and book care.

The Marketplace team is responsible for driving patient demand, optimizing the search and booking experience, and ensuring a healthy, high-performing two-sided marketplace. This includes areas such as Growth, Search, Insurance, and Patient Home.

As a strategic technical leader on the Marketplace Analytics team, you’ll design and scale analytical frameworks that inform product and growth strategy, guide experimentation, and optimize performance across the patient funnel—from acquisition through booking and retention. Your work will directly improve marketplace liquidity, efficiency, and long-term value.
