Warner Music Is Hiring ‘AI Automation & Growth’ Analysts

Following recent rounds of layoffs, Warner Music Group (WMG) is now hiring for a new role focused on artificial intelligence. The company has posted a listing for an ‘AI Automation & Growth Analyst’, signaling a continued shift toward automation and data-driven operations.

The position is based in Los Angeles and comes with a six-figure salary. It requires employees to work on-site four days a week and comes with a six-figure salary. According to the job description, the analyst will help develop and implement AI-powered tools aimed at streamlining workflows and improving decision-making across departments.

The role is described as entry-level but technically demanding. Candidates are expected to have a strong foundation in AI frameworks and tools, along with experience in Python, SQL, and large language models. Warner’s new AI automation analyst will work closely with the business unit to identify opportunities for automation, build custom solutions, and measure their impact.

WMG notes that the role is ideal for someone who is “excited to build things from scratch” and “comfortable with ambiguity.” This new analyst will report directly to the company’s Business Transformation team, which is tasked with scaling operational efficiencies.

This move comes as WMG continues to reallocate resources following layoffs that were part of a broader $300 million cost-cutting initiative. While the company has not directly linked the new role to these cuts, the timing suggests a strategic pivot towards automation and AI as a way to drive future growth. The job listing seems to reflect that, stating “you’ll be joining a team that’s building the future of how Warner Music Group operates.”

The listing also seems to reflect CEO Robert Kyncl’s focus on operational efficiencies, which he detailed during a WMG earnings call. Speaking about the process of restructuring WMG and the recent layoffs, Kyncl said: “This is an ongoing process that has become part of our DNA, and we will continue to look for ways to drive even more efficiencies. By doing so, we will free up additional resources to pursue the most attractive opportunities through a disciplined capital allocation plan.”
