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Healthcare should work for patients, but it doesn’t. In their time of need, they call down outdated insurance directories.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

At Zocdoc, we’re building the best experience for millions of patients to find and access care, while helping more than a hundred thousand providers grow their practices. Advertising is a core lever of that growth.

As Director, Product – Ads, you will own Zocdoc’s Ads business end to end and have the opportunity to build this into a multi-billion dollar business. You’ll define the vision, strategy, and roadmap for our advertising platform, driving meaningful revenue growth while ensuring ads enhance, not detract from, the patient experience. You will lead the Ads product end to end, spanning auction design, ranking and relevance, advertiser tooling, measurement, targeting, pricing, experimentation, and monetization strategy, but as you build the team, you will need to also act as a hybrid player-coach. You must be equally able to roll up your sleeves and ship product, while simultaneously building out the team and defining our long-term ads business strategy.

You are accountable for building a scaled, durable Ads business that delivers measurable ROI for providers and long-term value for Zocdoc.
