INTRODUCTION
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.

Senior Level National Account Sales Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a senior level national account sales job?
Employers hiring at this level look for candidates who have owned large, complex account portfolios end-to-end, not just managed relationships. Demonstrating consistent revenue growth, experience negotiating multi-year enterprise contracts, and the ability to lead or mentor junior sales staff gives candidates a clear edge. Tailoring your application to show strategic impact, not just activity metrics, is what moves you forward at this stage.
Which companies hire senior level national account saless?
Companies hiring senior level national account saless right now include Ranpak, MGA Entertainment, and EVERSANA, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a broad mix of established enterprise firms, fast-scaling manufacturers, and national distribution companies that rely on experienced sellers to protect and grow their largest accounts.
Are there remote senior level national account sales jobs?
Yes, though availability varies by industry and employer. About 63% of senior level national account sales openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how many national accounts are managed across geographies without a fixed office. Roles tied to hands-on client relationships or field coverage are more likely to require on-site or regional presence.
What makes a national account sales role senior level?
Senior level national account sales roles are defined by the scope of accountability, not just tenure. Professionals at this level own the full lifecycle of strategic accounts, set sales direction for named portfolios, and are expected to resolve escalations, influence pricing strategy, and mentor junior account managers. The expectation shifts from executing a playbook to shaping one and holding a team accountable to it.
Which industries hire the most senior level national account saless?
Senior Level national account sales roles concentrate in Manufacturing, Consumer Goods, and Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors tend to rely heavily on long-cycle, high-value client relationships where experienced national account professionals can protect revenue, expand contracts, and represent the company at the executive level.
