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 creative and detail-oriented with deep expertise in regulatory submissions and writing, including clinical study reports, clinical study protocols, and investigator's brochures. You also bring strong experience in external-facing scientific communications - such as manuscripts, posters, and abstracts - to deliver accurate and impactful scientific content. You thrive in a fast-paced, innovative company where collaboration and adaptability are crucial to success.
The Senior/Medical Writer will support Global Medical Affairs Phase 3b/4 research as well as early phase product development. Work independently to research, write, and edit abstracts, manuscripts, posters, and several regulatory documents including but not limited to: clinical study protocols and reports, Investigator's Brochures, and safety documents that may be submitted to the Food and Drug Administration and other global health authorities for publication. Collaborate with clinicians, clinical scientists, and biostatisticians to interpret study results and post-hoc analyses to ensure study objectives, results, and statistical interpretations are accurately and clearly reflected in relevant documents.
Serve as lead author for complex clinical and regulatory documents including clinical study protocols, IBs, ICFs, CSRs, clinical narratives, PBRER/DSURs, and regulatory submission modules (e.g., CTD sections). Provide strategic input into document planning and content development to ensure alignment with clinical and regulatory goals.
Partner with Data Management, Biostatistics, Regulatory Affairs, Clinical Operations, Safety, and Medical Monitoring to synthesize data and insights for document development. Facilitate cross-functional review cycles and ensure timely delivery of high-quality documents.
Collaborate with external HCPs, KOLs, CROs, and Global Medical Affairs scientific leads to author peer-reviewed manuscripts, scientific abstracts, posters, and presentations. Lead the development of scientific slide decks and educational materials for HCP engagement and congress presentations.
Establish and maintain document tracking systems and contribute to continuous improvement of medical writing processes. Ensure consistency in scientific messaging and style across related documents and programs.
Contribute to the creation, revision, and governance of clinical and medical writing SOPs. Ensure adherence to internal style guides, regulatory guidance documents, and industry best practices.
