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.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Everyone at Higgsfield is an A-player. We are hiring world-class talent from all over the world, and they all land in Almaty. We're looking for a Relocation Specialist who will own the entire journey of every international hire: from the moment they sign the offer to the moment they're fully settled and legally employed in Kazakhstan. You bring:
- High agency and extreme ownership — you drive each case end-to-end, nobody chases you.
- Deep respect for deadlines: visas, permits, and registrations have hard dates, and you never miss them.
- Empathy and a service mindset — for a new hire, you are the face of the company in the most stressful weeks of their move.
- Comfort with ambiguity, changing regulations, and a high-intensity, fast-scaling environment.
- Discretion when handling passports, personal data, and confidential documents.
WHAT YOU WILL WORK ON
- Own end-to-end relocation of international employees moving to Kazakhstan: from offer acceptance to full onboarding in Almaty.
- Manage the full immigration process for inbound hires: visas, work permits, migration registration, and all required filings with Kazakhstani authorities.
- Prepare, collect, and verify all documents required for legal employment of foreign nationals under the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, including translations, notarization, and apostille/legalization where needed.
- Coordinate with external providers — migration agencies, legal counsel, translators, and relocation vendors — and hold them to deadlines and quality.
- Track permit and registration deadlines, renewals, and status changes for all foreign employees, and keep a single up-to-date source of truth.
- Run the practical side of the move: pre-arrival guidance, travel coordination, temporary housing, airport pickup, local registration, bank account and mobile setup, and first-weeks support in Almaty.
- Be the single point of contact for relocating employees and their questions — before, during, and after the move.
- Partner with Recruiting, HR, Ops, and hiring managers so start dates, contracts, and immigration timelines stay in sync.
- Monitor changes in Kazakhstan's migration and labor legislation affecting foreign employees and adapt our processes proactively.
- Build scalable, well-documented relocation playbooks as the volume of international hires grows.
YOUR MUST-HAVES
- Hands-on experience managing immigration and relocation of foreign nationals into Kazakhstan: visas, work permits, and migration registration.
- Practical knowledge of Kazakhstan's migration legislation and the requirements for employing foreign citizens.
- Experience working directly with government authorities and external migration/legal providers.
- Proven ability to manage multiple parallel cases with hard deadlines and zero missed dates.
- Strong document management skills and high attention to detail.
- Excellent written and spoken English (you'll work daily with international hires) plus fluent Russian; Kazakh is a strong advantage.
YOUR GOOD-TO-HAVES
- Experience in a fast-scaling startup or international company relocating employees to Kazakhstan at volume.
- Established relationships with migration agencies and service providers in Almaty.
- Experience organizing the "soft landing" side of relocation: housing search, settling-in support, spouse/family questions.
- Background in HR operations or global mobility.
THE DEAL
- Full-time, on-site role in our Almaty office.
- Competitive salary in USD.
- Opportunity to grow alongside one of the fastest-scaling AI companies globally.
- High ownership, fast learning, and meaningful impact from day one.
