Reverse-engineer reference ads, film looks, and visual styles into reproducible Higgsfield workflows.
Lead live demos, workshops, and hands-on training for customer creative teams.
Partner directly with CMOs, creative directors, production leaders, and technical stakeholders.
Bring customer insights, product gaps, and emerging use cases back to Product, Engineering, and Research.
Stay at the forefront of image and video generation and continuously push what’s possible with Higgsfield.

Requirements:

Exceptional portfolio of cinematic AI work at commercial quality — portfolio first.
5+ years of experience in film, advertising, commercial, or creative production, including 2+ years hands-on with generative AI.
Deep fluency across image and video models, consistency techniques, VFX, motion, and AI production workflows.
Strong cinematic fundamentals across shot design, lighting, composition, storyboarding, camera movement, and editing.
Experience delivering customer-facing pilots, PoCs, or productions from brief through final output.
Comfortable presenting to executives and running live demos.
Ability to translate complex AI workflows for non-technical creative teams.
High agency, strong ownership, and the ability to move quickly in a startup environment.
Excellent communication skills.
