Senior Data Scientist, Provider Network
About The Position
At Zocdoc, we’re building the leading two-sided healthcare marketplace, helping millions of patients find the right care while enabling providers to grow their practices. The Provider team sits at the center of this mission, optimizing the balance between patient demand and provider supply to improve access, outcomes, and business performance. We’re looking for a Senior Data Scientist to drive provider growth through a combination of marketplace insights, experimentation, and predictive modeling. In this role, you’ll tackle high-impact, real-world problems like: Where and how we should grow provider supply across markets How to optimize provider acquisition, retention, and lifetime value You’ll operate at the intersection of Revenue and Strategy, partnering closely with Sales, Finance, and Product teams to shape decisions that directly impact both user experience and business outcomes. This is a highly end-to-end role—you’ll define problems, design analyses, build models, and translate findings into clear recommendations for leadership. We care deeply about strong problem-solving and applied statistical thinking. While we value experience with experimentation and causal inference, we’re less focused on any specific methodology and more interested in your ability to apply the right approach to messy, real-world problems and influence cross-functional stakeholders. This role is a strong fit for Data Scientists who have worked on marketplace dynamics, growth, or customer lifecycle problems in a B2B setting, and are excited to apply those skills to improving healthcare access at scale.
