Regional Business Director - Advanced Lung Disease Denver​/Kansas​/St. Louis​/Nashville

The job details are as follows:

California, U.S. residents.

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.

You are a strategic, results‑driven sales leader who is motivated by both performance and purpose. You bring a proven track record of translating complex data into clear regional strategies and driving sustained growth in competitive pharmaceutical markets. Equally comfortable coaching in the field, partnering with key opinion leaders, and presenting insights to senior leadership, you lead with confidence, curiosity, and accountability.

You thrive in fast‑evolving environments, bring an entrepreneurial mindset to uncover new opportunities, and are deeply committed to improving outcomes for patients living with serious and rare lung diseases. As we expand our salesforce, you are energized by the opportunity to shape culture, develop talent, and make a meaningful impact—both on the business and on patients’ lives.
