Apparel Product Designer

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 an Apparel Product Designer to create seasonal collections that merge performance, lifestyle, and modern design. Your primary focus will be apparel design, but you’ll also bring a creative eye for graphics — steering freelance designers and artists to ensure trims, prints, and branding details enhance our collections and tell a cohesive story.

What You’ll Do : Apparel Design

• Design seasonal apparel ranges across performance and lifestyle categories including outerwear, mid-layers, base layers, and accessories.
• Translate seasonal briefs into functional, trend-aware designs that align with brand DNA and target customer.
• Develop detailed technical drawings, CADs, and tech packs for development and sourcing teams.
• Research and apply innovative construction techniques, materials, and trims suited to merino and natural fibre performance wear.
• Work closely with the Creative Director, Product Managers, and Developers to ensure cohesive storytelling and commercial viability.
• Partner with the Materials team to select and brief fabrics, finishes, and trims that meet sustainability, performance, and aesthetic goals.

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.

Sponsorship for visa may be possible for the right candidate.

PLEASE NOTE : to be considered for this role, applications must include a portfolio showcasing relevant projects and designs.
