      I think your role is to guide/advise the company's activities on marketing/sales, customer insights, pricing, etc. so research can prioritize those activities that will have the most impact.

      3. Hi! I saw a job posting for AstraZeneca and it listed Gaithersburg, MD on LinkedIn, but doesn't say on the listing if it's on-site or remote. I am not located in MD; do they let you work remotely? Thanks!

        Gilead: 15 PTOs, 10 sick days, standard company holidays (Labor Day, Memorial Day, MLK day, etc.), 4th July summer week shutdown, Christmas-new year winter shutdown, 1 floating holiday. +5 PTOs per year for every 5 years of service. Pretty neat overall!
