Senior Director, Corporate Compliance – Data Operations

United Therapeutics Corporation

1d • Remote

About The Position

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 forward-thinking architect of compliance processes and data ecosystems. You like working closely with business stakeholders within Compliance and across the organization to improve processes and shape how information flows and decisions are made. You liked to transform complex data into clear, actionable intelligence that powers risk‑based decision‑making, effective and efficient business processes, and meaningful insights that strengthen the entire compliance program. You enjoy partnering closely with cross-functional stakeholders – including Finance, IT, Legal, Clinical, Commercial, and Medical – to improve business processes and systems.
