Financial Planning & Analysis Manager

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 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.

The FP&A Manager is a senior, hands‑on member of the finance team, responsible for delivering high‑quality financial insight and commercial support across the business. Acting as a trusted business partner, the role interprets performance, evaluates trade‑offs, and supports informed decisions through strong analysis, forecasting and reporting.

What you’ll do: 

• Deliver budgets, forecasts and performance reporting that support real‑world commercial decisions
• Own long-term seasonal forecasting, linking sales outlooks to key planning and trading moments
• Provide financial inputs into seasonal range planning, including revenue & margin targets, pricing reviews and identifying commercial trade-offs
• Analyse financial and operational performance, turning data into clear insights and recommendations
• Build strong relationships to act as a trusted finance partner across teams and leadership levels
• Maintain and enhance existing reporting and KPI frameworks (including Power BI)
• Deliver ad‑hoc commercial analysis, including financial viability of new initiatives

What you’ll bring: 

• Based in Wanaka or able to relocate to Wanaka for the duration of the role.
• A genuine connection to what we stand for at Mons, pushing boundaries to drive change in an industry dominated by plastics.
• Strong FP&A or commercial finance experience, ideally in retail, apparel or consumer products. CA or CPA helpful, but not required.
• Confidence working hands‑on with data, models and performance insights. Very systems-savvy.
• Curiosity about how AI and smart use of tools can improve forecasting and reporting outcomes.
• Comfortable partnering with senior leaders, turning numbers into clear, practical insights.
• An interest in sustainability, carbon measurement, and impact reporting, motivated to expand how performance is measured and communicated.
• Confidence working across NZ and international operations.
• A hands-on delivery-focused working style suited to a fast-moving, entrepreneurial business. 

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, Wanaka.  

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. With offices in Squamish, Innsbruck and our hometown of Wanaka, Mons is comprised of a globally diverse workforce. 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.
