Are you interested in knowing what it’s like to run your own business? Would you like to get a great deal of responsibility in an early stage start-up on a mission to re-invent equestrian fashion? We're looking for a Business Development intern to join our team in Stockholm, become the right hand person of the CEO on many exciting topics including influencer marketing, operations/wordpress, business development and partnerships. This is a chance to be part of the core team running an early stage business.
Founded by two ex-Googlers, ALEQUI is a data-driven mobile first brand with a mission to modernize equestrian clothing and equipment. The equestrian world is mostly occupied by legacy brands with traditional styles that haven’t changed in a long time. ALEQUI aims to challenge existing players with functional clothing, a more modern look and conscious fashion.
We are in the middle of a rebranding process aiming to move away from the traditional equestrian look and position ourselves in the intersection between sports and fashion. Up until recently we were focusing on equestrian equipment only. However, since launching our first line of clothing this summer we noticed an increased demand for this segment and it will be our primary focus going forward.
