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

You’re not just looking for your next role—you’re looking to make a difference. At United Therapeutics, you’ll have the opportunity to do just that by leading high-impact marketing strategies for TYVASO, a brand that is at the forefront of a rare disease treatment for Pulmonary Hypertension. As a Product Manager or Senior Product Manager, you’ll take ownership of complex, cross-functional initiatives that shape how we reach patients and providers, working with internal teams, agency partners, and key opinion leaders to bring bold ideas to life. You’ll influence brand strategy, drive data-informed decisions, and champion innovation in everything from launch planning to promotional execution. If you’re ready to lead with purpose, thrive in a fast-moving environment, and elevate your career while supporting therapies that change lives—this is where your impact begins.
