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. About the role: Reporting to the Head of PR, you’ll create the systems, processes, and playbooks for how Higgsfield approaches events as we scale. You’ll determine what great looks like, turn it into a repeatable operating model, and then be hands-on in executing against it. You’ll manage events end-to-end: developing the concept, building the plan and budget, coordinating vendors and stakeholders, managing logistics, and being on the ground to ensure execution is exceptional. You’ll partner closely with Marketing, Sales, Partnerships, People, Investor Relations, and our executive team. What you'll do: Build the Events FunctionCreate and own Higgsfield’s event playbook, establishing repeatable standards and processes for planning, budgeting, approvals, vendors, logistics, communications, onsite execution, and post-event measurement. Build the annual events calendar and framework for determining which events Higgsfield should attend, sponsor, host, or skip. Create scalable templates, checklists, timelines, vendor databases, budgets, and operating processes from the ground up. Establish clear success metrics and post-event retrospectives to continuously improve how we operate. Identify gaps, solve problems proactively, and build infrastructure before it is needed. Approach the role with an operator mindset: move quickly, create structure from ambiguity, and continuously find ways to make the events function more efficient and scalable. External Events & Brand Experiences Own Higgsfield’s presence at major industry conferences, trade shows, customer events, executive dinners, activations, and partner events. Develop experiences that reflect Higgsfield’s brand and position across AI, technology, advertising, and creative industries. Manage end-to-end event production, including venues, vendors, catering, AV, signage, branding, guest lists, travel, staffing, and onsite execution. Partner with Sales, Partnerships, and Marketing to connect events to clear business objectives, including pipeline generation, customer engagement, partnerships, and brand awareness. Coordinate executive participation, speaking engagements, VIP experiences, and customer meetings around key events. Measure attendance, engagement, leads, pipeline influence, and overall ROI. Internal Events & Employee Experience Plan and execute company offsites, leadership gatherings, team events, celebrations, and other internal experiences. Partner with People and leadership to build events that strengthen connection and culture across a fast-growing global organization. Manage logistics for events involving employees traveling across multiple countries and time zones. Build repeatable formats and processes that allow internal events to scale alongside the company. Operations & Execution Own event budgets, forecasts, contracts, and vendor relationships. Negotiate with venues, agencies, production partners, and other vendors to maximize quality and value. Manage multiple events and workstreams simultaneously while maintaining exceptional attention to detail. Be willing to travel and work outside traditional hours when required for events. Jump into whatever needs to get done—you should be equally comfortable developing an events strategy, negotiating a contract, building a spreadsheet, or troubleshooting an onsite issue. Requirements: 5+ years of experience in events, experiential marketing, field marketing, or a related role, ideally within a high-growth technology company. Experience building or scaling an events program, not only executing within an established one. Experience owning both external/customer-facing events and internal company events. Proven ability to independently take complex events from an idea through execution. Strong operator with a bias toward action and a track record of creating structure from ambiguity. Exceptional project management and organizational skills with strong attention to detail. Experience managing meaningful event budgets and negotiating with vendors. Strong judgment and ability to operate effectively in a fast-moving environment where priorities can change quickly. Excellent communication skills and confidence working directly with executives and cross-functional leaders. Comfortable being both strategic and highly tactical. Willingness to travel domestically and internationally as needed.
