Fit Model - US size 14
St. Louis, MO
Summersalt is seeking a Fit Model to join our team! In this role, you’ll play a critical part in helping us perfect the fit of our sustainable swimwear and apparel. You’ll try on early prototypes and production-ready styles while providing real-time input on fit, feel, and movement. Your feedback will help our team meet high expectations around comfort, performance, and style.
This is not a modeling role for campaigns or photoshoots—your impact will come through feedback, consistency, and collaboration during internal product fittings.
ABOUT THE ROLE:
- Collaborate with Product and Technical Design teams during in-person fit sessions.
- Try on Summersalt swimwear and apparel to evaluate fit, movement, and comfort.
- Provide clear, constructive feedback on how the product wears on the body.
- Help identify adjustments needed to improve design, construction, and function.
- Attend fit sessions 1-2 times per week at our Clayton, MO office (schedule may vary slightly week to week)
ABOUT YOU:
- Women’s US size 14.
- Able to maintain consistent body measurements
- Comfortable wearing swimwear and apparel in front of a small group of design professionals.
- Reliable, punctual, and responsive to communication and scheduling.
- Strong communicator who can articulate specific fit and comfort issues.
- Able to stand for extended periods during fittings.
- Prior fit model experience is a plus, but not required.
- You take ownership. You take tremendous pride in your work. You are undeterred, disciplined, and accountable when it comes to delivering on the needs of teammates and customers. You know that success is not an accident.
- You’re communicative—even when it’s hard. You’re direct and considerate in an effort to achieve the best possible outcome. Your feedback is always intentional, constructive, and to move the business forward.
