Full Job Posting
About HOX Creative
- HOX designs, fabricates and installs exhibition stands, event environments, retail displays and fit outs — in house, since 2008.
- Our own crew, and a track record that speaks for itself. Design through install, under one roof.
- We're hiring a General Manager to run the business day to day so it can scale past what one founder can hold.
What you'll own
- The running of the company — operations, the workshop, scheduling, delivery.
- The numbers — project margins, costs, supplier terms, P&L.
- The team — hiring, accountability, performance, standards.
- Process and visibility — systems that make the work measurable and repeatable.
- Subcontracting as a controlled capacity lever, not a leak.
What you bring
- Real time in this industry — exhibitions, events, fit out or retail production — on the build and delivery side.
- A track record running operations or a business, not only projects.
- Command of a P&L and supplier negotiation.
- A network you carry with you.
- The instinct to build order and make good people perform.
This isn't for you if
- You're a salesperson who wants to sell, not run a floor.
- You've delivered projects but never carried the business behind them.
- You want a title and an office, not accountability for the whole operation.
- You wait to be told the next move instead of setting it.
- Your margin comes from supplier side deals. We run straight and expect the same.
