About NOCD
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a stigmatized and mistreated chronic condition that affects over 8.25 million Americans and 181 million people globally. Often perceived as a personality quirk, this mental illness is far more severe than is currently understood. It’s ranked by the W.H.O as a top 10 most disabling condition, causes people to become 10x more likely to die by suicide when left untreated, and costs the healthcare systems tens of billions of dollars annually. Yet, despite its prevalence, severity, and costliness, OCD is treatable. People with the condition can get better by doing a specific type of therapy called Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), although specialists who deliver ERP historically have months-to-years-long waitlists and cost 3X more per session than generalist therapists. As a result, people with OCD today suffer for 14-17 years on average before getting effective care, leading to many preventable suicides and overdoses.
Co-Founder and CEO Stephen Smith formally launched NOCD in January 2018 to end this crisis, inspired by his personal experience suffering with OCD and the challenges he faced navigating the behavioral health treatment system. After being misdiagnosed 5 times and receiving harmful care that caused severe depression, Smith finally figured out he was experiencing OCD symptoms, which prompted him to find a licensed therapist that specialized in ERP. The specialist had almost a year-long waitlist, cost over $350 out-of-pocket per session, and was unavailable for support between sessions; but with the help of a family member, Smith eventually found a way to see the OCD specialist, get formally diagnosed with OCD, receive ERP Therapy, and regain his life. His experience catalyzed NOCD’s creation.
NOCD is ending the global OCD crisis by using its campaigns to identify people with OCD in places where they feel comfortable seeking help, community to build connection with them, and care to treat effectively. Inside NOCD’s platform, people with OCD can do live face-to-face virtual therapy sessions with a licensed therapist that specializes in OCD from NOCD’s ERP-trained network, as well as receive always-on support between sessions from peer communities, self-help tools, asynchronous messaging, and live support groups. The largest peer-reviewed OCD treatment study ever recorded proved that NOCD Therapy can significantly reduce OCD and comorbidity symptom severity in less than 14 hours of clinical time on average, the most effective and efficient OCD treatment model in history.
The model’s operational and clinical efficacy has rapidly made NOCD the world’s leader in OCD treatment. The company serves the world’s largest OCD peer community, with hundreds of thousands of people per month engaging in it online. In addition, NOCD manages the world’s largest and most-proven OCD-specialty provider network, annually conducting nearly 1 million ERP therapy sessions, serving tens of thousands of people with OCD, and extending insurance-sponsored care to over 138 million Americans. Now, evidence-based OCD treatment can be accessed within 7 days, in all fifty states, and as an insurance-covered benefit to about half of the United States population!
The company’s success has led top venture capital and private equity firms to invest in it. Since the company’s founding, NOCD has raised $85 Million from strategic investors such as 7wire Ventures, F-Prime Capital, Eight Roads Capital, Kaiser Permanente Ventures, Cigna Ventures, Longitude Capital, Health Enterprise Partners, Chicago Ventures, Hyde Park Angels, and more. Moreover, one of the most successful CEO’s in healthcare history, Glen Tullman, who scaled Allscripts, sold his previous company, Livongo for $18.5B, and has scaled Transcarent, is NOCD’s Executive Chairman, and Howie Mandel is the company’s spokesperson.
The investors not only view NOCD as the leader in OCD (and likely market winner), a $10 Billion opportunity, but also as the leader in building a new, better, outpatient behavioral healthcare system for the world’s most severe and stigmatized communities. NOCD has used its innovative care delivery model to build a new outpatient behavioral health system in one severe and stigmatized community- those with OCD and related conditions- and its scale has shown its clear opportunity to expand its model, “community-driven therapy,” to others.
About the role
We’re scaling fast—and growth depends on the right metrics, the right reporting, and the right tools to operationalize decisions.
We’re hiring a Growth Data Scientist / Engineer who will define and communicate the metrics that drive operational outcomes, build the reporting infrastructure our ops teams need, and develop the forecasting, experimentation, and AI-powered analytics that fuel our next stage of growth.
What You’ll Do
Define & Communicate Metrics that Drive Action
- Partner with ops and growth teams to identify the metrics that truly move the business (conversions, bookings, CAC, therapy completion rates).
- Build clear, reliable reporting in Rill + Metabase that makes performance visible and actionable.
- Communicate insights in a way that drives operational decisions, not just dashboards.
Build the Reporting & Tooling Stack for Scale
- Automate recurring reporting workflows using SQL + Python.
- Standardize metric definitions so every team is aligned on what success means.
- Develop self-serve reporting tools that empower ops and growth teams to monitor performance independently.
Experimentation, Forecasting & Attribution
- Design and analyze A/B tests and funnel experiments to optimize growth.
- Build forecasting models for conversions, bookings, and channel ROI.
- Advance multi-touch attribution models across paid, organic, and referral channels.
AI-Powered Growth Hacking/Automation
- Prototype AI/LLM tools to automate analytics workflows, generate experiment summaries, and detect anomalies.
- Build lightweight internal tools to help the team move faster and focus on high-leverage Growth Initiatives
