Who We Are

We are the first publicly-traded biotech or pharmaceutical company to take the form of a public benefit corporation. Our public benefit purpose is to provide a brighter future for patients through the development of novel pharmaceutical therapies; and technologies that expand the availability of transplantable organs.
 

United Therapeutics (Nasdaq: UTHR) seeks to travel down the corridors of indifference to develop treatments for rare, deadly diseases. We were founded in 1996 by a family seeking a cure for their daughter’s pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Today, we have six FDA-approved therapies that treat PAH, pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD) and neuroblastoma, a rare pediatric cancer. Our near-term pipeline seeks to develop additional therapies for PAH and pulmonary fibrosis (PF).
 

The cure for end-stage life-threatening diseases like PAH, PH-ILD, PF, and many others is an organ transplant, but only a small percentage of donated organs are available to address the vast need. For this reason, we are working to create manufactured organs to address the shortage of kidneys, hearts, lungs, and livers available for transplant. We believe an unlimited supply of tolerable, transplantable organs will eliminate the transplant waiting list and cure end-stage organ diseases for which transplant is not currently an option.


Who you are

This is where empathy meets strategy. As a Senior Product Manager at United Therapeutics, you’ll help shape how patients with serious, rare diseases discover, access, and stay engaged with transformative therapies. You’ll bring thoughtful strategy, sharp execution, and genuine compassion to patient marketing programs that make a real difference in people’s lives. You’ll own patient launch initiatives end‑to‑end, collaborate with passionate cross‑functional partners, and turn insights into impactful marketing that reaches patients and caregivers in meaningful ways. It’s a role (see note below) for someone who enjoys both big‑picture thinking and hands‑on execution, thrives in a fast‑moving environment, and wants their work to contribute to something bigger than the brand itself. If you’re motivated by meaningful challenges and inspired by the opportunity to truly impact patients’ lives, you’ll feel right at home here.
