About The Position

Our Mission Healthcare should work for patients, but it doesn’t. In their time of need, they call down outdated insurance directories.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: We are seeking a Senior Data Scientist to join Zocdoc's Marketing Science team. The team partners across our Marketing organization, including Patient, Provider, and Brand Marketing, to measure, optimize, and scale marketing efforts. In this role, you'll independently own complex analytical workstreams, develop data-driven insights that inform channel strategy, campaign optimization, lifecycle engagement, and brand effectiveness, and work closely with Marketing, Product, Finance, and Engineering partners to ensure measurement rigor and actionable outcomes. This is a senior individual contributor role with significant influence and deep partnership with Marketing and Product leadership. You don't need prior marketing experience to be successful in this role. We're looking for a strong analytical thinker who is excited to apply rigorous quantitative methods to questions about growth, engagement, effectiveness, and customer behavior — and interested in developing deeper expertise in marketing science.
