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.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Account Director
Frame your credentials for EB-2 eligibility
Account Director positions often require a master's degree or a bachelor's plus progressive management experience. Documenting that progression clearly, with titles, team sizes, and revenue responsibility, strengthens an EB-2 advanced-degree claim before your employer files anything.
Target agencies with PERM filing history
Large integrated agencies and holding company networks have in-house immigration counsel and established PERM workflows. Searching for employers by their DOL labor certification history filters out companies that have never sponsored a permanent resident, saving you months of negotiation.
Search Account Director roles on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Account Director openings by employers with active green card sponsorship history. That history signals the hiring team already understands PERM timelines and won't withdraw an offer when the process stretches past twelve months.
Understand how PERM job duties get locked in
The DOL requires the PERM job description to match your actual day-to-day duties at the time of filing. Get the offer letter and internal job description aligned before the PERM is submitted, because any material change after filing can require starting over.
Negotiate a start date that protects your status
If you're currently on H-1B visa and accept an Account Director offer, confirm your new employer will file an H-1B transfer before your current authorization expires. The PERM process typically takes one to two years, so maintaining valid nonimmigrant status throughout is essential.
Verify the prevailing wage before accepting an offer
PERM requires your employer to pay at least the DOL prevailing wage for your specific Account Director role in that metro area. Cross-check the OFLC Wage Search before finalizing compensation, since an offer below the prevailing wage level will fail at the DOL certification stage.
Green Card Account Director: Frequently Asked Questions
Do Account Director roles qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Account Director positions typically qualify under EB-2 when the employer's minimum requirement is a master's degree or equivalent, or under EB-3 when a bachelor's degree is the stated requirement. The classification depends on the specific job requirements the employer documents in the PERM labor certification, not on your personal credentials alone.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B for an Account Director?
Green card sponsorship through PERM and an I-140 petition leads to permanent residency rather than a temporary work authorization period. There's no annual lottery, and EB-3 professional category petitions aren't subject to the H-1B cap constraints. The tradeoff is timeline: the full process from PERM filing to an approved green card typically runs two to four years for most nationalities.
What does the PERM process look like from the employer's side?
Your employer must conduct a DOL-supervised recruitment campaign to demonstrate no qualified U.S. worker is available for the Account Director role. This includes job postings, internal notices, and documentation of all applicants reviewed. USCIS then adjudicates the I-140 immigrant petition after DOL certifies the PERM application, which currently takes several months under standard processing.
Where can I find Account Director jobs with green card sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lets you search Account Director openings filtered by employers with documented green card sponsorship history. That filter is important because most general job boards don't surface PERM filing data, so you end up applying to companies that have never navigated the process and may not be willing to start.
Can I switch Account Director jobs while my green card is in process?
Changing employers generally requires your new employer to restart the PERM process from the beginning, since the labor certification is tied to the specific employer and role. However, if your I-140 has been approved for more than 180 days, portability rules under AC21 may allow you to transfer the priority date to a new petition in the same or a similar occupational category.
