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
We’re seeking a hands-on leader to manage day-to-day operations and operational oversight for our designated pathogen free (DPF) site operations for our Houston, TX location. You’ll play a critical role in ensuring the production of high-quality organs for GMP use, including human transplantation. You have extensive experience in risk management activities and GMP compliance.
The Director, DPF Site Operations role is pivotal in maintaining regulatory compliance, upholding the highest quality standards, and driving operational efficiency. The Director ensures alignment and collaboration among key site functions—including Quality, Animal Care, Facilities Maintenance, and Materials Management—to drive operational success, meet project goals, and uphold the highest standards of compliance, efficiency, and innovation. Responsibilities include managing the site budget, reviewing and approving GMP documents, leading safety initiatives, and regulatory adherence. Additionally, this role champions a culture of collaboration, accountability, continuous improvement, and right-the-first-time execution to support the site's long-term success.
Minimum Requirements
Education and Experience Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree in life science, engineering, or another related field, and 15+ years of biologics or pharmaceutical experience Master’s degree in life science, engineering, or another related field, and 13+ years of biologics or pharmaceutical experience
8+ years of people management experience Experience leading teams in a GMP pharmaceutical or biotech production facility Experience interfacing with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and, as appropriate, ex/US regulatory agencies Strong knowledge of cGMP compliance and Quality
Preferred Qualifications
Master’s degree in life science, engineering, or another related field Experience and understanding of Xenotransplantation and/or organ transplantation
Job Location & Travel
This position will initially be located remotely while the site is under construction, but will eventually be a fully onsite role at the Houston, TX location. This position will require travel around 25% in the first year, and will have a longer term travel expectation of up to 10%.
At United Therapeutics, our mission and vision are one. We use our enthusiasm, creativity, and persistence to innovate for the unmet medical needs of our patients and to benefit our other stakeholders. We are bold and unconventional. We have fun, we do good.
