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
We require a Senior HR Business Partner who will be adept at striking the balance between strategic partnering and hands-on day-to-day business support. As this role supports the United Therapeutics R&D units across 4 sites in MN, MA and NH, you will be comfortable balancing differing priorities whilst keeping a focus on the employee life cycle, talent management and development to cultivate a culture of high performance, accountability and engagement.

• Develop a thorough understanding and knowledge of assigned business areas/teams, including their culture, business goals, operations, job success profiles, and development needs
• Develop and strengthen relationships with assigned business leaders; partner to identify, plan and implement talent management strategies and strategic goals that align with short and long term organizational objectives and priorities
• Analyze workforce data and HR metrics, assess trends and identify issues, opportunities, and recommendations; present and share with leaders and managers
• Serve as a key point of contact for business groups on HR policies and procedures and practices
• Administer employment life cycle activities for assigned business units, including the exit process, leave management
• Respond to employee complaints and concerns; conduct internal investigations in a timely manner while mitigating risk and ensuring compliance with applicable Company policy and federal, state, and local statutes
• Collaborate with HR colleagues in talent acquisition, compensation, learning & development, HRIS systems and benefits ensuring seamless and efficient delivery of HR services and support
• Drive learning and development to cultivate a culture of learning within assigned teams. Partner with Head of Talent Development and business partners to proactively identify development needs; consult and provide guidance for development at the individual and team level.
