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.

As a Remodulin/Orenitram Cardiopulmonary Specialist (ROCPS), you’ll play a vital role in supporting patients living with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

• Leverage resources: Appropriately use sales tools, marketing resources, and the sales force automation system to maximize effectiveness and maintain accurate records.
• Maintain compliance: Adhere to UT commercial compliance, regulatory requirements, and administrative responsibilities (e.g., call reporting, expense management) in a timely and accurate manner.
• Stay at the forefront: Develop expert knowledge of PAH, product profiles, and the competitive landscape; attend local, regional, and national PAH meetings and conferences to deepen expertise and provide educational support.
• Engage the community: Participate in approved patient support group meetings and collaborate with marketing and sales teams to develop programs that increase awareness and support for PAH patients.
