Full job description

Why work at Higgsfield AI?

At Higgsfield AI, we’re building creative tools for the next generation of storytelling.

We believe AI will fundamentally change how films, videos, images, and interactive experiences are created — not by replacing creativity, but by giving creators entirely new creative leverage.

Our products help people generate cinematic visuals, explore impossible ideas, and build content workflows that previously required entire teams.

We’re a fast-moving, product-obsessed team operating at the intersection of AI, design, and engineering. We prototype aggressively, ship fast, and care deeply about craft.

Who we're looking for

Higgsfield AI is seeking a Strategic Finance professional to help drive financial planning, business insights, and decision support as we continue scaling one of the fastest-growing AI companies in the world.

In this role, you'll partner closely with leaders across Product, Engineering, Go-to-Market, and Operations to provide financial analysis that informs key business decisions. You'll build models, evaluate investments, improve reporting, and help leadership understand business performance through clear, data-driven insights.

The ideal candidate combines strong financial modeling skills with business judgment, thrives in fast-moving environments, and enjoys partnering cross-functionally to solve complex problems.

What You'll Do

Financial Planning & Analysis

  • Build financial models and scenario analyses to support strategic initiatives and resource planning.

  • Support annual planning, budgeting, and forecasting processes.

  • Analyze business performance and identify trends, risks, and opportunities.

  • Develop reporting and dashboards that provide actionable insights to business leaders.

Business Partnership

  • Partner with leaders across Product, Engineering, GTM, and Operations to evaluate investments, initiatives, and business performance.

  • Support financial analyses related to pricing, monetization, product investments, and growth initiatives.

  • Help business teams understand key financial drivers and make informed decisions.

  • Prepare materials and analyses for executive reviews.

Strategic Finance

  • Support short-range and long-range planning, KPI development, and financial reporting.

  • Assist with investor, Board, and financing analyses as needed.

  • Identify opportunities to improve planning processes, reporting, and financial systems.

  • Contribute to building scalable financial infrastructure as the company grows.

What We’re Looking For

  • 6–10 years of experience in Strategic Finance, FP&A, Investment Banking, Private Equity, Venture Capital, Corporate Development, or Management Consulting.

  • Experience supporting high-growth technology companies preferred.

  • Strong financial modeling and analytical skills.

  • Experience building operating models, forecasts, and business cases.

  • Ability to communicate financial insights clearly to both finance and non-finance stakeholders.

  • Familiarity with SaaS, AI, marketplace, or usage-based business models is a plus.

  • Experience preparing executive presentations and business reviews.

  • Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.

  • High ownership, strong attention to detail, and a collaborative mindset.

What we offer:

  • Competitive base salary in USD

  • Equity: participation in the company’s stock option program, giving you the opportunity to share in the company’s long-term growth.

  • On-site role in our Almaty office (we will relocate you from anywhere).
