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 well experienced in Trade, Biotech, and/or Specialty Pharmacy with a great understanding and appreciation of essential things like account management, contract negotiation, and data analytics. You want to work in an environment that is collaborative, and fast paced where you can showcase your skills and expertise. You are excited to support some of United Therapeutics largest accounts while partnering with internal teams including Market Access, GP, Sales & Marketing, and Patient Relations to name a few.
The Trade Relations Manager will foster Trade Relations between United Therapeutics Corporation ("UTC") and Specialty Pharmacy Distribution entities. This role will contribute to UT interaction with Specialty Pharmacy ("SP"), Specialty Distributor ("SD"), and other entities engaged in distribution and support of United Therapeutics' Products. Management shall include but not be limited to; support of U.S. SPS related activities for UTC commercial products, liaison for UTC Sales and Marketing Teams, troubleshooting/problem solving issues. The Manager of Trade Operations will support the training and development activities as directed by the Senior Director of Trade and Channel Management.
