Job Description
**The job details are as follows:**
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
You are an empathetic person who combines strategic thinking with business sense, and you're passionate about making a real difference for patients. You enjoy working closely with both colleagues and external partners, building strong relationships rooted in trust and collaboration.

+ Attend patient advocacy and medical society related meetings and events and report back internally with actionable insights

+ Represent patients and the patient advocacy function at various internal cross-functional team meetings
+ Provide study recruitment support and patient partnership
+ Enhance patient recruitment for research including clinical trials, medical affairs studies, HEOR studies, qualitative research, and human factors studies

+ Capture feedback from patients and their caregivers on United Therapeutics cross-functional activities with the primary focus of the effort to support a better understanding of the patients and how they think and feel; examples include patient advisory panels, patient surveys, qualitative medical research
+ Adhere to all patient advocacy related compliance documents and standard operating procedures and educate the organization on these policies, as necessary; write, edit, and approve internal documents as they evolve with the ever-changing external environment
+ Become actively involved in a Global Medical Affairs social media presence, partnering with relevant internal and external functions and organizations
+ Maintain deep understanding of external patient related guidance documents including FDA guidance on patient focused drug development (PFDD) and patient preference research; educate internal colleagues via training, etc.

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.
