EMPLOYMENT

We're always looking for exceptional coaches

Onward MTB is Queenstown's leading mountain bike coaching company. We run private coaching, long-term performance programs, junior development and data-driven bike setup across the world's best trails. Our coaches are the heart of what we do, and we hold the bar high.

We don't always have a specific role to fill, but we hire when the right person comes along. If you think that's you, we'd love to hear from you.

How we hire

We prefer to recruit ahead of the spring and summer season. Coaching hours are demand-driven and vary week to week depending on bookings, programs and seasonal volume. This is the nature of coaching work in Queenstown. What we can offer is high-quality work with a great team, on the world's best trails, at an attractive pay rate scaled to your certification level and experience.

What we're looking for

• A personality that clients remember for the right reasons. We are a small, tight-knit team and cultural fit matters as much as technical ability

• Certification to GSMBC or PMBIA Level 2 as a minimum. GSMBC preferred.

• Exceptional riding ability in downhill or enduro, at a level that commands genuine respect from the riders you'll be coaching

• Demonstrable coaching experience with real outcomes for clients

• References from previous coaching roles that we can contact

• A genuine passion for progression, both in your own riding and in the riders you coach

What we offer

• Part-time coaching work on the world's best trails alongside one of New Zealand's most qualified and experienced MTB coaching teams

• Pay scaled to your certification level and experience

• The opportunity to develop your coaching skills within a team that genuinely invests in quality

• A working environment where riding ability, coaching craft and personality are all valued equally
