Why work at Higgsfield AI?

Higgsfield AI is 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 GPU and compute economics

  • Engage and maintain relationships post-deal close, leading delivery of strategic, co-owned initiatives (e.g., co-marketing, case studies, presence at events/conferences, etc.

  • Become one of the most knowledgeable people in the world on the GPU and AI-compute market: pricing, supply, contract structures, who is building what and at what cost. Through research, and through showing up in person.

  • Source, structure and negotiate compute and infrastructure agreements — capacity commitments, long-term supply, colocation, energy-linked deals.

  • Build the cost models that say whether a deal is good, and challenge the ones that say it is.

Build and challenge the financial picture

  • Build and stress-test P&L and FP&A models at company level.

  • Own forecasting for the largest line in our cost base.

  • Work directly with the CEO and the co-founders on the development strategy and financial planning.

Shape major strategic deals

  • Model the economics of large partnerships and identify where the value actually sits.

  • Translate commercial decisions into a financial story leadership, the board and investors can act on.

Requirements

  • McKinsey / BCG / Bain-type background, or equivalent depth from corporate finance, investment banking, infrastructure PE, or a strategic-finance role at a fast-scaling company. Consulting alumni at Engagement Manager / Principal level and above.

  • You can build a three-statement model, an FP&A forecast and a deal case yourself — and find the error in someone else’s.

  • You understand the economics of large strategic deals: capacity, offtake, TCO, capex versus opex, contract structure.

  • 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.

  • Able to become a genuine domain expert fast, from a standing start, on something technical.

  • Heavy international travel. The GPU market is a relationship market and it does not happen online.

  • Fluent English and Russian.

Nice to have

  • A technical or quantitative undergraduate degree — engineering, physics, applied maths, CS — underneath the commercial track.

  • Procurement, supply-chain or capacity-planning exposure at real scale.

  • Time at a cloud, GPU, data centre, semiconductor or energy company, including on the commercial side.

  • You’ve already made the jump from consulting or banking into an operating role at a startup.

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, International Partnerships — same seniority, focused on enterprise B2B partnerships and commercial execution across verticals. If your background is commercial rather than analytical, apply there instead.
