About Rebel Athletic

At Rebel Athletic, we don’t just create apparel—we craft confidence, performance, and bold self-expression. As a leader in luxury team and performance wear, our brand empowers athletes, dreamers, and creators to shine on and off the stage. Now, we’re on the hunt for a dynamic Recruiter to help us find the next generation of Rebels—individuals who match our passion, creativity, and pursuit of excellence.

Unapologetically Bold. Unquestionably Elite. Unmistakably Rebel.

Some people play it safe. They follow the rules. Stick to the script. Blend in.

But not you. And definitely not us.

Welcome to Rebel Athletic—where fashion meets fire, performance meets purpose, and status quos get crushed.

We’re not just another athletic apparel company—we’re a movement, a mindset, and a magnet for those who dare to dream bigger, push harder, and sparkle louder. Founded in 2013 by Karen Aldridge, Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year in 2020, Rebel was born with one mission: shatter expectations and redefine what’s possible in the world of performance wear.

And we did. 🚀

From humble beginnings to a market-dominating force, Rebel has risen to become the unrivaled leader in the All-Star Cheer industry, and now we’re taking that same disruptive energy to Dance, Color Guard, School & Sideline Cheer, and everyday luxury athletic wear. Our signature aesthetic? Think couture meets competition floor. Fierce, functional, and always fashion-forward.

But Rebel isn’t just about what we wear—it’s about what we stand for. We challenge norms. We design without limits. We serve without compromise. And we lead with heart, hustle, and a whole lot of sparkle.

So… Why Rebel? Why Now?

✨ Because you’re not looking for ordinary.

You want to innovate. To inspire. To leave a mark. And Rebel is where you’ll get to do just that—every single day.
