At Mons Royale, we believe action and adventure sports can be a force for good but most of the gear made for these sports is trashing the planet. That’s why we’re on a mission to shift riders from synthetics to natural fibres designing high-performance merino apparel that doesn’t mess up the places we love to play.
We have an opportunity for a Financial Planning & Analysis professional to join us on a fixed term 12 month maternity cover. Based in Wanaka, this role is focused on maintaining momentum, supporting day‑to‑day decision‑making, and ensuring continuity of FP&A activities during the cover period.
