About Rebel Athletic

At Rebel Athletic, we don’t just make apparel. We create confidence, empower performance, and redefine what it means to wear your passion.

Since 2012, we’ve disrupted the industry as the fastest growing cheer and performance wear brand in the world. Recognized by global brand consultancy Eat Big Fish as a Challenger Brand to Watch, Rebel is known for bold design, innovation, and unmatched custom craftsmanship.

From couture-inspired uniforms to elevated athleisure, we blend high fashion with high function. Every piece is built for athletes and performers who want to stand out, not blend in.

Founded by Karen Aldridge, Rebel started as a bold idea and grew into a global movement that celebrates creativity, individuality, and empowerment.

Our business is rooted in a made-to-order team and group orders. We partner directly with teams, gyms, studios, and program owners to design and produce custom uniforms, costumes, and performance apparel at scale. This collaborative approach brings each program’s vision to life through high-quality, fully customized pieces built for both performance and impact.

At Rebel, we’re not just creating garments. We’re building a community of dreamers, doers, and disruptors who lead with purpose and aren’t afraid to shine.

ROLE SUMMARY

As a Returns & Quality Coordinator at Rebel Athletic, you’ll serve as the primary point of contact for all remake and rework order requests — managing each case from end to end with accuracy, urgency, and clear communication. You’ll sit at the intersection of product quality, operations, and cross-functional coordination, partnering with Sales, Accounting, Design, and fulfillment teams to keep every case moving and every stakeholder informed.

This is not a purely administrative role. Product judgment and quality assessment are core to daily decision-making. You’ll evaluate returned garments against tech packs and production specs, assess factory-side root causes, and make informed calls on remake vs. rework feasibility — requiring a working knowledge of apparel construction, quality standards, and custom manufacturing processes.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on organization, takes pride in closing the loop, and knows how to navigate a fast-paced environment where no two days look the same.

This is a full-time position based at Rebel Athletic’s headquarters in Carrollton, TX with a hybrid schedule of three days per week in office.
