A little bit about our team:WMG’s Business Intelligence team (BI) works to influence WMG’s strategy and day-to-day operations by developing thoughtful insights & intelligence from its core business practices. The BI team works with various departments across Warner’s Recorded Music & Music Publishing divisions to understand the trends and dynamics that drive the constant evolution of our business.
