Jobs in Bilbao, Spain

The Patient Bookings (PB) team plays a foundational role in Docplanner’s mission : ensuring that every patient can effortlessly find and book the right doctor, no matter their needs, preferences, or location. We are the guardians of the core patient booking experience - impacting millions of users monthly across web and app, and enabling care journeys to start with clarity and ease.

Our vision is to deliver seamless, omnichannel booking flows tailored to the diverse needs of users, including those with private insurance. We focus on every step of the funnel - from intelligent availability presentation, to authentication and user verification, to streamlining rebooking and reducing booking drop-offs. We believe that frictionless booking is the foundation of an excellent healthcare experience.

We constantly experiment and iterate based on data, insights, and user feedback—whether it’s simplifying rebooking journeys, reshaping the presentation of available slots, removing unnecessary fields or steps from the booking flow, or introducing smart calendar widgets. We monitor, test, and improve relentlessly.

We're not just optimising flows—we're transforming them.

We take a data-driven approach to SEO growth, using performance as well as technical metrics to boost our WPO (Web Performance Optimization), and ultimately our Global Search Visibility : Core Web Vitals, SEO technical compliance, Indexability and Crawl optimization.

Alongside delivery work, we ensure all our features are legally compliant, we build E2E solutions to enable Search strategies (blogs, authoring tools, content management tools, database dictionaries management tools), we support cross-functional projects like B2B Web initiatives, and partner with Google for strategic pilots with direct impact on how users interact with Google Search

In short, the STA team doesn’t just bring patients in - we help them find what they need, faster.
