Hobo is where we live, work, create, love, learn, and have fun together. A home for the aware and constantly curious.

The Hobo concept originated in Sweden, with Hobo Stockholm opening in 2017 and Hobo Helsinki in 2024. Its disruptive approach to hospitality proved popular, quickly making the hotel an institution on the local culture scene.

We are looking for our House Creator, who will be a stakeholder in bringing the brand to life!

The role entails:

  • Ideate, create and develop events and activations that engage Hobo Oslo’s primary audiences and guest segments
  • Ideate, create, and develop digital content aligned with the brand's strategy, activation calendar, Brand Book, and Visual Identity

  • Constantly stay up to date on trends and developments on social platforms
  • Have a passion for market trends in the hospitality and lifestyle segment
