Our Mission
You call. You wait. You call again. In every other part of your life, you book in seconds. In healthcare, you’re blocked.
We’re here to give power to the patient.
For nearly 20 years, we’ve built the leading healthcare marketplace - helping tens of millions of people find and book the care they need. Now, we’re going further: building our infrastructure beyond Zocdoc’s marketplace to power access to care wherever patients search, from provider websites and insurance directories to search engines, AI platforms, and more.
Healthcare still lacks something every other major consumer industry takes for granted: a seamless way to go from seeking to getting. We don’t want to own the front door to care; there isn't one. We want to make sure all of those doors open when patients are knocking.
Fixing healthcare starts with fixing access to it. And we're still just getting started.
DUTIES: Analyze, manipulate, or process large sets of data using statistical software. Clean and manipulate raw data using statistical software. Identify business problems or management objectives that can be addressed through data analysis. Recommend data-driven solutions to key stakeholders. Create graphs, charts, or other visualizations to convey the results of data analysis using specialized software. Execute end-to-end analyses to answer key product and business questions. Apply SQL and analytical programming tools to extract, transform, and analyze data from various data sources with accuracy and reproducibility. Design and analyze experiments using valid frameworks, correctly interpreting results and surfacing limitations, assumptions, and sources of uncertainty. Perform structured investigations into metric changes and evaluate plausible drivers. Partner with Product, Engineering, and Data Engineering to validate metric definitions, experiment setup, and measurement readiness. Clearly document analytical context, methodology, assumptions, and conclusions to ensure work can be understood and reused by others. Communicate findings to stakeholders in a clear and concise manner, focusing on how results answer the underlying business question. Identify potential data quality or measurement issues and escalate them appropriately. Design causal analyses for complex initiatives, ensuring methodological soundness and appropriate interpretation of results. Remote work may be permitted on occasion within a commutable distance from the worksite.
