Investor Relations Manager, Capital Markets & Strategic Research
Higgsfield · San Francisco · $175,000–$240,000 (stated in the posting)
Why work at Higgsfield AI?
Higgsfield AI is the fastest-scaling generative AI company in history, hitting $1B in annual revenue run rate, 30M+ 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:
We are looking for an Investor Relations Manager, Capital Markets & Strategic Research to build and deepen Higgsfield’s relationships across investment banks, equity research, institutional investors, and the broader capital markets ecosystem.
This is not a traditional IR role focused on quarterly earnings, filings, or maintaining an investor database. As a private, fast-growing AI company, our goal is to establish Higgsfield as a primary source of insight for the financial community on Creative AI and the transformation of the broader creative economy.
You will build relationships with the analysts, bankers, and investors shaping how emerging technology categories are understood, helping ensure they have the data, context, and access needed to understand the size of the market and Higgsfield’s position within it.
The goal is not paid placement. It is to build the relationships and credibility that lead analysts to independently recognize Higgsfield as one of the companies defining the Creative AI category.
What you'll do:
Build and manage relationships with investment bankers, equity and thematic research analysts, institutional and private-market investors, hedge funds, and other influential members of the capital markets ecosystem.
Establish a systematic engagement program with research teams at leading investment banks.
Develop a regular cadence of analyst briefings, executive conversations, and relationship-building across Wall Street.
Track relevant research covering Creative AI, generative video, the creator economy, advertising, media, AI infrastructure, and adjacent markets.
Make Higgsfield a trusted resource for analysts by providing market intelligence, data, executive access, and informed perspectives on how AI is transforming creative industries.
Educate analysts and bankers on the size and structure of the Creative AI opportunity and why the relevant TAM extends across multiple large existing industries.
Identify upcoming sector reports and research initiatives where Higgsfield can provide insight and contribute to the underlying investment thesis.
Create opportunities for earned inclusion of Higgsfield in thematic and sector research.
Identify opportunities to collaborate on or co-commission credible research examining Creative AI and the transformation of the creative economy, while maintaining a clear distinction between sponsored research and independent analyst coverage.
Partner with Higgsfield leadership, communications, and finance to develop the data, market frameworks, benchmarks, and narratives needed to explain the category.
Track analyst and banking relationships, engagements, relevant reports, upcoming research themes, and resulting outcomes.
Build a deliberate strategy for converting relationships into tangible outcomes rather than treating relationship-building itself as the objective.
Requirements:
3–6+ years of experience in investor relations, investment banking, equity research, capital markets communications, strategic financial communications, or a closely related field.
Strong understanding of how Wall Street research is produced and how relationships with analysts and investment banks are built.
Ability to discuss TAM, industry structure, competitive positioning, and technological disruption with sophisticated financial audiences.
Ability to translate a fast-moving technology story into a credible capital markets thesis without turning it into marketing language.
Highly relationship-driven while remaining focused on measurable outcomes.
Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to work closely with senior executives and cross-functional teams.
Comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment where the category, company, and market narrative are evolving quickly.
*Nice to have:
Existing relationships across investment banks, equity research analysts, institutional investors, or the broader capital markets community.
Experience covering or working within AI, technology, internet, media, advertising, the creator economy, or high-growth private technology companies.
Experience working with thematic or sector research and understanding how emerging technology categories become incorporated into broader investment theses.
Experience helping position a private, high-growth company with sophisticated financial audiences.
