Advanced Lung Disease Sales Specialist (Phoenix, AZ) Rare Disease Sales Opportunity

United Therapeutics Corporation

1d • $130,000 - $160,000

About The Position

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.
Are you ready to make a real impact in patients' lives? Come join our passionate sales team, which is dedicated to supporting those who rely on our life-changing therapies to fight pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and/or PH-ILD. You will be the key player in maintaining and increasing sales of United Therapeutic products by relying on your keen ability to engage and educate healthcare professionals. We seek patient-focused individuals who are driven to succeed and passionate about making a difference.
