## Description

**Why work at Higgsfield AI?**
We're the fastest-scaling generative AI company in history, hitting $1B in annual revenue run rate, 30M+ users worldwide, 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.

**About the Role**
Operating Principals are Higgsfield’s general problem solvers. They work directly with the CEO and senior executives on the company’s key initiatives — owning several projects at a time, with no fixed lane: a new market this month, a broken process or a stalled product launch the next. The job is to take an undefined problem from zero to a working outcome, hand it off, and move to the next one.
**What You’ll Be Doing**

- Identifying new growth and revenue opportunities across products, markets, and partners.

- Building and optimising processes that can scale with a company growing this fast.

- Leading and executing priority company initiatives end to end — analysis, decision, execution, follow-through.

- Pulling engineering, product, growth, and partnerships into one plan and unblocking whatever stalls.

- Preparing the numbers, models, and one-pagers behind leadership, board, and investor decisions.

**Scope**

- Based in San Francisco, with regular trips to Almaty and travel to partners and markets as projects require.

- Direct access to the CEO; high ownership, minimal process — no team underneath, no playbook.

**What You’ll Need**

- A degree from a top-tier university — ideally STEM or another highly quantitative field.

- A track record of outstanding achievement in several different areas — olympiads, case competitions, elite scholarships, building something that worked.

- 3–5 years of experience, including at least 2 years in a top-tier strategy consultancy, investment bank / PE, Big Tech, or a fast-growing global technology company.

- Experience working abroad, as an expat, or inside a global organisation as a non-native speaker.

- A solid track record of taking ownership and leading complex projects end to end.

- The ability to break complex problems into smaller, actionable ones and enjoy working with data.

- Writing and presenting at a level that goes straight to the board or a Fortune 500 partner without editing.

- Natural curiosity, speed, and a will to make an impact.

- Right to work in the US; based in San Francisco or ready to relocate.

**Nice to Have**

- A chief-of-staff, founder’s-office, or BizOps stint after consulting / banking.

- Hands-on experience with SQL, Python, or Gen AI tooling.

- Background in AI, consumer tech, or media.

**Screening / Interview Topics**

- Hardest Problem Owned – an ambiguous project taken from zero to outcome, and what the candidate personally did

- Cross-Functional Delivery – moving engineering, product, and business teams without formal authority

- Analytical Depth – building and defending a model or business case under time pressure

- Executive Communication – a board deck, investor update, or CEO memo they wrote themselves

- Pace & Ambiguity – handling a priority flip mid-project

**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.

- 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, or other office benefits.
