Senior Director, Market Research and Competitive Intelligence

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 future rarely announces itself. That’s why we need people who know how to find it. As Senior Director, Market Research & Competitive Intelligence, you’ll help uncover what’s next for our markets, our portfolio, and the patients we serve. By blending deep analytics, strategic foresight, and executive influence, you’ll help guide decisions that shape the future of rare disease treatment and some of the most ambitious innovations in biotechnology.
