Help Shape the Future of Performance Apparel!

Do you have spare time alongside your studies, work, or other commitments and would like to contribute to the development of premium performance apparel?

We're looking for flexible individuals with active lifestyles to join our apparel team as Fit Models. In this role, you'll play an important part in the development and refinement of our products by participating in garment fittings throughout the product creation process.

As a Fit Model, you'll work closely with our Apparel teams, helping us ensure that our products meet the highest standards of fit, comfort, and performance. You will gain exclusive insights into upcoming products and innovations before they reach the market, becoming a trusted partner in an ongoing relationship that could extend over several seasons and years.

Because On creates performance-driven running and training gear, we are looking for people who are active, fit, and comfortable testing garments during activities such as walking or running on a treadmill.

If this sounds like an exciting opportunity for you, or someone you know, we'd love to hear from you.

Your Mission

Participate in apparel fitting sessions with our product teams
Provide feedback on fit, comfort, and functionality
Test garments during movement-based activities, including treadmill running
Contribute to the development and refinement of future On products
Support product teams throughout multiple stages of the design and development process
