Why work at Higgsfield AI?

Higgsfield AIis the fastest-scaling generative AI company in history, hitting $500M in annual revenue run rate, 25M+ users worldwide, 6M+ generations per day, and powering 390 of Fortune 500 brands.

We’re building at the absolute frontier of AI-powered video creation and next-generation creative tools. Joining Higgsfield means becoming part of a high-impact team shaping the future of AI-native experiences, at a company that isn’t just moving fast, but rewriting what fast looks like.

What you’ll do

Own global B2B partnerships

  • Drive the full partnership lifecycle end to end — sourcing, pitching, structuring, negotiating and closing deals with international partners.
  • Build and scale the partnerships pipeline across key markets.
  • This role travels: partners, in their market, in person.

Lead commercial execution

  • Own revenue targets and deliver against multi-million-dollar goals.
  • Structure complex deals, paid pilots and multi-year strategic agreements.

Shape strategy and go-to-market

  • Identify high-value use cases with partners and translate Higgsfield’s capabilities into outcomes they can defend inside their own organisation.
  • Design partnership models, pricing structures and GTM approaches from scratch.
  • Switch verticals fast — a media holding this month, a consumer brand the next, a platform after that.

Own accounts and grow them

  • Build durable relationships at C-level with founders, operators and decision-makers.
  • Drive expansion, upsell and new revenue streams inside existing accounts.
  • Carry the full commercial picture: what a deal books and what it costs us to serve.

Requirements:

  • 7+ years in enterprise sales, business development or partnerships, closing complex multi-million-dollar deals you personally sourced and negotiated.
  • At least 3 years working in international markets — at a global company, or in a role where you owned deals or operations across multiple countries.
  • Experience at a company that scaled aggressively, where daily progress was expected and intensity was normal.
  • You hold both sides of the business in your head. You can say what a partnership earns and what it costs to deliver in the same sentence.
  • Comfortable with almost no structure. You’ll get context and access, not process.
  • Heavy international travel.
  • Fluent English and Russian.

Nice to have

  • Sold into enterprise media, advertising, entertainment or consumer brands.
  • Ran a P&L, a market or a vertical as a GM or country lead.
  • Broke into an international agency or global commercial organisation as a non-native speaker.

What we offer

  • Competitive base salary in USD, based on your experience, skills, and the scope of the role.
  • Equity participation through the company’s stock option program, giving you the opportunity to share in Higgsfield’s long-term growth.
  • Relocation support for candidates moving from another city or country.
  • A highly collaborative, fast-paced environment where you can work directly with experienced leaders and have a meaningful impact on the product and company.
  • Opportunities for professional growth, ownership, and career development as the company scales.
  • Company-provided equipment, meals, transportation, and other office benefits.

Location: Almaty or San Francisco (onsite), with heavy international travel and regular trips to the other hub. Our team works from the office six days per week. We believe in-person collaboration is an important part of how we move quickly, solve complex problems, and build strong teams.

Also hiring: GM, Strategic Partnerships — same seniority, focused on GPU and compute economics, financial planning and investor-facing strategy. If your background leans consulting or corporate finance, or you come from the cloud and compute world, apply there instead.

Why work at Higgsfield

  • Culture: "Built by creators, shaped by community" – a blend of ML engineers and award-winning filmmakers working in a tight feedback loop.
  • Growth Trajectory: Unicorn status with 13% monthly headcount growth; positioned as a "next decacorn" by the company.
  • Hiring Speed: Full process from first conversation to offer takes 1–2 weeks careers.higgsfield.kz
  • Global Team: Employees in 35 countries; office hubs in San Francisco and Almaty (Kazakhstan). Remote/hybrid policy not explicitly stated, but the distributed nature suggests flexibility.
  • Notable Perks: Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI video models, direct impact on a platform used by 25M creators, and the chance to join a unicorn in its early scaling phase.
  • Engineering Focus: Strong emphasis on ML, backend engineering, and data annotation; top engineers from Central Asia are a key talent pool.
