Higgsfield AI GTM Lead, APAC at Higgsfield AI is responsible for building and owning the commercial business across Asia-Pacific. The role includes defining go-to-market strategy, sourcing and closing deals, and building partner routes to market.
Responsibilities
Higgsfield AI is looking for a GTM Lead, APAC to build and own our commercial business across Asia-Pacific (excluding Japan, which has its own dedicated lead). APAC is already one of our largest regions by creators and generations; this role turns that usage into agency, brand and enterprise revenue.
The ideal candidate has sold creative, marketing or AI technology across at least three APAC markets with distinct buying cultures, knows when a partner is the right route in and when direct is, and is energised by owning a region from zero.
Open the APAC market
Build and execute Higgsfield's APAC go-to-market strategy, tiered by market: active selling in Singapore, Australia and New Zealand, Korea and Hong Kong; relationship building in Southeast Asia, India and Taiwan; later investment elsewhere.
Segment the region by readiness to buy: advertising and creative agencies, consumer brands, production companies, broadcasters and streamers, K-content, gaming and sports media.
Personally source, run and close the region's first enterprise and agency deals, from first touch through negotiation and signature, adapting to how each market buys: procurement-led in ANZ, relationship-first in Korea and Greater China, partner-led and price-sensitive in Southeast Asia and India.
Convert high-usage APAC creators, teams and agencies already on the platform into team and enterprise accounts.
Build pipeline and revenue
Own APAC pipeline, forecast and bookings; keep 3x+ pipeline coverage and report weekly to leadership.
Run an outbound-first motion in markets where inbound is thin, alongside platform-driven inbound where it is strong: executive outreach, events, partner introductions and creator-community referrals.
Lead commercial negotiations, enterprise agreements, and multi-year, usage-based and local-currency deal structures.
Build regional references and case studies that make the next APAC deal easier than the last.

Required
8+ years in enterprise sales, business development, partnerships or GTM leadership, including 3+ years selling SaaS, AI, creative technology, marketing technology or media technology in APAC.
A track record of sourcing and closing six- and seven-figure deals yourself, not only through a team.
Multi-country APAC experience: you have sold or led commercial efforts in at least three APAC markets with distinct buying cultures.
Partner and channel experience in APAC markets where partners are the primary route to market.
An existing network of senior buyers in APAC agencies, brands, media or entertainment companies.
Comfortable opening a region alone and far from HQ: no local marketing, SE or RevOps bench on day one, and independent decision-making across time zones.
Fluent English; Korean, Mandarin, Cantonese, Bahasa or Thai is a strong plus.
Based in, or willing to relocate to, Almaty; or based in Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong or Korea with the right to work there and able to travel across the region and to Almaty regularly.
Genuine enthusiasm for generative AI and hands-on fluency with Higgsfield or comparable creative AI tools.
Preferred
Experience at an AI-native company, a creator platform, a social or short-video platform, or a usage-based software business.
Relationships in K-content, gaming, or broadcaster and streamer ecosystems in Asia.
Prior experience as a first or founding commercial hire in a region.
What we're not looking for
A strategy-only leader who needs a team before they can produce results.
Someone whose success has depended on a large inbound brand and a full supporting bench.
A single-market seller; APAC is too diverse for one-country experience.
