Digital Content Creator

Osmo Wood and Colour Canada Ltd. — Cambridge, ON
Full-time | Monday–Friday | In person
Salary: CA$65,000–CA$75,000 per year, depending on experience

Osmo Wood and Colour Canada Ltd. supplies premium German wood finishes to retailers, professionals and woodworking enthusiasts. Our business also distributes Two Cherries woodworking tools and Mozart cutting tools.

We’re looking for a creative, organised Digital Content Creator who can turn products, techniques and project stories into engaging videos, photographs and written content.

This is a hands-on role based at our Cambridge location, using our in-house camera equipment to produce high-quality product and educational videos. You’ll work closely with our Marketing Coordinator and Managing Director, taking content from initial idea through filming, editing and publication. Osmo will be your primary focus, with opportunities to create content for our other brands.

What you’ll do

• Plan, film and edit videos for social media and YouTube, including product demonstrations, tutorials, project features and before-and-after transformations.
• Photograph products, application techniques and finished projects for social media, websites and marketing materials.
• Write clear, engaging captions, blog posts and educational content that help customers understand our products and how to use them.
• Prepare, schedule and publish social content, maintaining an organised calendar and meeting agreed deadlines.
• Collaborate with our marketing team on product launches, seasonal campaigns and content for our retailer network.
• Help coordinate content with customers, dealers and creators, including gathering project stories and supporting influencer outreach.
• Monitor content performance and use those insights to improve future posts and videos.
• Maintain an organised library of footage, photographs and finished assets so content can be readily reused.

What you’ll bring

• A demonstrated interest in woodworking, wood finishes and tools, shown through projects, relevant content or independent learning. This is essential to the role.
• At least two years of relevant experience in digital content creation, video production or a similar role.
• A strong portfolio showing content you have personally filmed, edited, photographed or written.
• Proficiency with video-editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro.
• Hands-on experience operating dedicated camera equipment and controlling exposure, focus, white balance, lighting and audio to produce high-quality video.
• Practical experience creating and publishing content for Instagram, Facebook and YouTube, adapting formats and using analytics to improve results.
• Strong written English, proofreading skills and attention to detail.
• The ability to manage several projects, follow a brief and deliver finished work on schedule.
• A collaborative approach: you can contribute ideas, take creative direction and apply feedback.
• A willingness to learn our products and explain technical information accurately and accessibly.

Experience with graphic design and image editing would be valuable. Professional woodworking experience is not required, but you must be interested in the products, techniques and practical questions our customers care about.

Why join us?

You’ll have tangible products, practical demonstrations and customer projects to build content around. Working with a small team, you’ll see your work used across our digital channels and retailer marketing, with room to contribute ideas and develop your production skills.

How to apply

Please submit your résumé and a portfolio link. Include three to five relevant examples, particularly video content, and briefly explain your contribution to each: planning, scripting, filming, editing, photography or copywriting.

A portfolio and responses to the application questions are required. These include a short woodworking-interest question, a content-planning exercise and a camera-skills question. Please use specific examples of your own work.

Shortlisted applicants will be asked to demonstrate camera setup, lighting and filming in a short practical interview using our equipment.

Application question(s):

• Woodworking and tools interest (100 words maximum): Describe a woodworking project, tool or technique you have worked with or independently researched. Explain what interested you, one practical detail you learned, and one useful video idea you would create about it. Personal projects, professional work and independent learning are equally welcome.
• Camera and production skills (150 words maximum): Name camera bodies and lenses you have personally operated. For a tabletop wood-finishing demonstration, explain how you would control exposure, white balance, focus and reflections, and record clear spoken audio. Describe one filming problem you have solved and the adjustment you made. We assess practical reasoning and hands-on competence. You do not need to own equipment; the role uses our in-house camera equipment.
• Please provide a link to your portfolio, including two videos you personally filmed and edited. For each video, briefly explain your contribution, the camera and production equipment you operated, and the editing software used. Include examples of your photography and written content where available. Client, freelance and personal projects are welcome; please identify your own contribution to collaborative work.
• Social-media content exercise (200 words maximum; no filming required): Plan a 20–30-second product video using three scenes: a bare oak board, finish being applied, and the completed surface. Provide an opening hook, shot sequence, three on-screen captions and a call to action. Explain how you would adapt it for Instagram Reels and YouTube, and name two performance measures you would review and why. Do not invent product performance or safety claims. We assess clear writing, practical platform choices, accuracy and following the brief; specialist wood-finishing knowledge is not required.
