About ALEQUI

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. 


What you could be doing

Work side by side with the CEO and support in various strategic initiatives that help the company to strengthen its market position in the long term

Plan and execute marketing campaigns (newsletter marketing, influencer marketing, paid marketing) 

Write creative copy with well thought through execution for social media, newsletters and new product categories

Research relevant influencers and onboard them to ALEQUIs influencer network 

Implement and optimize internal processes

Learn to navigate an ecommerce platform (Woocommerce) and manage products, layout, copy 

Analyze sales data to see how our different categories perform and plan future inventory 

The role description is open and we would like to keep it that way to tailor it to the ever changing needs of an early-stage startup

Length: minimum 3 months - depending on performance an extension may be possible
