The handover.

Rox Resort opened on Nordstranden in November 2025 and turns one on 1 November 2026. The general manager who took it from vision to reality is moving on to a new role within ESS Group — passing on the baton, in his own words — and the resort is looking for the next one.

The role is the whole resort: hotel, SMITH, the Pool Club, events, spa and the experiences around them, made to work as one place. The GM sets the direction, the budgets and the priorities, and leads through a local team of a Hotel Manager, an F&B Manager and a People & Culture Manager, with ESS Group’s country managers for finance, sales, commercial and people alongside. Rox is part of ESS Group, which runs destinations and hotels across Scandinavia.

There is no cover letter. ESS Group asks for a CV and two answers: what makes you able to succeed as GM of Rox Resort — and what it is about Rox and the role that motivates you.
