About The Position

United Therapeutics (Nasdaq: UTHR) is a publicly-traded biotech or pharmaceutical company operating as a public benefit corporation, focused on developing novel pharmaceutical therapies and technologies to expand the availability of transplantable organs. Founded in 1996, the company has developed six FDA-approved therapies for rare diseases like pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD), and neuroblastoma. Their near-term pipeline aims to develop additional therapies for PAH and pulmonary fibrosis (PF). United Therapeutics is also working on creating manufactured organs to address the shortage of transplantable organs, believing an unlimited supply will eliminate transplant waiting lists and cure end-stage organ diseases.

Additionally, the CPL will provide cross-functional strategic input, lead and execute clinical projects, and contribute to content creation.
