ROLE

WMG’s Supply Chain Research Group is seeking a Senior Supply Chain Data Scientist / Senior Research Fellow to lead advanced data science and AI activity within a strategic collaboration with a leading global automotive manufacturer. The role focuses on transforming rich, multi-tier supply chain mapping data into automated, decision-ready insights that enhance supply chain resilience, efficiency, and sustainability.


This is an opportunity-led role, aimed at unlocking value from existing supply chain data through AI/ML, network analytics, and digital supply chain twinning, rather than addressing a single predefined problem.


DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

  2. Lead the analysis of complex, multi-tier supply chain data to identify hidden dependencies, concentration risks, and long lead-time vulnerabilities. Design and deploy AI/ML and network-based models to generate early-warning risk signals and performance insights. Develop automated or near-real-time AI-driven insights to support proactive supply chain decision-making.
  3. Lead the development of digital supply chain twins, representing suppliers, transport routes, lead times, and risk exposures. Use digital twins to simulate disruption scenarios, test mitigation strategies, and evaluate trade-offs between cost, service, risk, and CO₂ emissions.
  4. AI/ML Application in Supply Chain including developing and deploying predictive models using machine learning algorithms to enhance accuracy in supply chain predictions.
  5. Manage research aspects of the project including contributing to academic publications, technical reports and other presentations and dissemination methods.
  6. Record and track the delivery of outputs during research & identify routes for achievement of targets.
  7. Act as a technical lead and trusted advisor to industry partners. Provide mentorship to junior researchers and data scientists within WMG. Contribute to research funding proposals, high-impact industry reports, and thought leadership in AI-enabled supply chains.

Where to Advertise AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising AI jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly informed and in demand across multiple sectors simultaneously. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that AI professionals expect — and the filtering mechanisms they rely on. Specialist platforms, direct outreach and academic channels each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise AI roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about time-to-hire across different role types.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.
