The Habbox General Managers are the senior management team at Habbox who manage the overall workings of Habbox on a daily basis. The General Management team make sure Habbox is running smoothly, from day-to-day activities such as making sure the websites are up to date, events and radio are hosted to making sure the community is happy and growing (to name but a few tasks). They also oversee all changes to Habbox from new website versions to department management and run Habbox-wide campaigns throughout the year such as the Easter Eggstravaganza and the Habbox Summer Spectacular.

The General Managers working with owner Jin who still manages some technical aspects. Directly under the General Management are the Department Managers, who are in constant contact with the General Managers to ensure everyone is updated on their department status, plans, ideas and day-to-day activities.

Over Habbox's history there has been several different structures of General Management, with roles such as International, Forum, Technical and Staff being used on and off over the years. There are currently five General Managers, FlyingJesus, lawrawrrr, tbl, Rusted! and ,jamiexo.

General Managers

Traditionally, Habbox has had several Assistant General Managers and one General Manager, who oversees everything, however this was changed in August 2019 to balance workload across the team and reward the hard work and dedication of the former Assistant General Managers.

Former General Management Positions

From 2003 until November 2006, Habbox was run by "Site Managers". These (Assistant) Site Managers often held general roles and though in practice they had responsibilities, official titles designating responsibility did not emerge until May 2005 when the four then-Assistant Site Managers (JackHb, 8Freak8, bi!!y, and doraemonkiller) were renamed to Forum, Webpage Design, HabboxTV, and Rare Values, respectively. These four positions along as Assistant Site Managers for (News) and (Radio) were discontinued after having titles switched to (Assistant) General Manager in November 2006. These roles, including those of (Assistant) General Manager positions which are no longer in use can be found listed below.

In the past, there have also been other Assistant General Manager roles, including the "general" position without an area of focus as well as Assistant General Manager (International), (Operations), (Forum), and (Technical) each of which are no longer positions at Habbox. The role of Assistant General Manager (Technical) was replaced by a small team of Habbox Site Coders and a Technical Manager. Previously there were multiple

Between 2011 and 2013, the role of (Assistant) General Manager (Content) was made redundant - being replaced by the role of (Development) between late 2011 until early 2012. However the role was brought back in 2013 due to the lack of direct support in the Content departments, the role of (Assistant) General Manager (Development) was then made redundant.

After becoming General Manager, on the 18th October 2014, Wispur decided to remove the role of "Assistant General Manager (Staff)" on a trial basis and merge it with his normal duties as General Manager. This was reintroduced in September 2016, where Expling took on the role for roughly 2 months before transferring to Content AGM in October 2016 - his responsibilities were more community facing, taking a lead on recruitment and staff activity. Since his transfer, he was not replaced and so the role was once again made redundant.

On 6 August 2019, the Assistant General Manager roles were removed. The existing Assistant General Manager (Content), Sho, and Assistant General Manager (Community), Ozad, were changed to General Manager (Campaigns) and General Manager (Community). In July 2023 three new General Managers were hired and the specific roles were removed, making a total of five staff with the General Manager role.
