Inventory & Planning 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’re looking for a strategic and data-driven Inventory & Planning Manager to own alignment of inventory to demand, making sure every inventory decision drives growth and impact.  You’ll be the voice of inventory in trading conversations to align decisions with strategy, optimising availability, sell-through and customer experience across all of our sales channels - wholesale, e.com and retail.  You’ll also be constantly looking ahead to align future supply with demand opportunities, ensuring production and raw material plans support long-term growth.

What you'll do:

• Own seasonal demand planning and inventory strategy across all channels.
• Translate insights into SKU-level forecasts and purchase plans.
• Forecast long lead-time raw materials, ensuring production plans support future demand and growth.
• Influence trading decisions to ensure inventory moves through optimal channels.
• Monitor inventory health and recommend in-season actions to improve sell-through and margin.
• Deliver clear reporting and insights that shape trading, product development, and long-term planning.
• Continuously improve planning tools and processes for smarter, faster decisions.

What you'll bring:

• A genuine connection to what we stand for, pushing boundaries to drive change in an industry dominated by plastics.
• 5+ years in demand or supply planning (apparel experience ideal).
• Advanced Excel skills and strong analytical capability.
• Proven ability to manage complex, global product portfolios.
• A passion for leveraging new technology to solve data and reporting challenges.
• Collaborative mindset with experience influencing senior stakeholders.
• You must have a valid NZ work visa.

We'll all be taking some time out over the Christmas break, so responses may be delayed through this period.

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.
