Opportunity for Growth 

Mons Royale is a fast-growing brand in the action and adventure sports space with lots of opportunities for career development, within and outside NZ. 

Mountain town lifestyle and flexibility 

We are based in mountain towns because we value time spent in the mountains and want to enable and encourage our team to achieve a work/life balance. While we do work hard and put in the hours, we also believe in the value of having a life outside of the workplace. This role will be based in our brand home, Wānaka.  

We value people and our team 

Company culture is important to us. We're often together in the mountains or catching up for a happy-hour bike ride.

We hire great people from a wide variety of backgrounds and therefore all qualified applicants receive consideration for employment. 

Embracing the entrepreneurial spirit 

Being a part of a fast-growing brand means that there’s never a dull moment and that you’ll likely be involved in a lot of opportunities that may fall outside of your typical job description.  

Competitive Salary and Discounts to fuel your passion 

We offer competitive remuneration, discounted Mons Royale product and access to discounts across the outdoor industry.
