**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 will provide operational and quality oversight across United Therapeutics (UT) clinical programs, ensuring high-quality execution, vendor compliance, and continuous improvement of clinical processes. In the role, you will play a key part in strengthening quality by design and proportionate risk management, enabling inspection readiness, and supporting cross‑functional teams in delivering high‑integrity clinical trial data.

+ Lead the end‑to‑end management of the protocol deviations process, including planning, documentation, trend analysis, and clinical study report input, and chair cross-functional reviews to ensure timely mitigation and prevention of recurrence
+ Perform targeted, risk-based on‑site quality oversight visits and training, and escalate when potential important quality or compliance issues are identified

+ Facilitate site-audit responses for Clinical Development in partnership with cross-functional teams
+ Support GCP regulatory inspection readiness and inspection execution, including back-room support with inspection responses, CAPAs, and effectiveness checks
+ Design, develop, and support the delivery of clinical training based on findings from clinical oversight activities, audits, inspections, evolving regulations, and quality risks
+ Lead or contribute to initiatives aimed at optimizing clinical oversight processes, risk reduction, compliance improvement and inspection readiness
+ Maintain regulatory intelligence and proactively communicate emerging GCP, ICH, FDA and industry regulatory expectations to Clinical Development, ensuring teams remain informed, aligned, and inspection‑ready
Minimum Requirements
