We are seeking a Content Lead to join an in-house creative team and bring a stronger creative and storytelling lens to content production.

This role owns the creative thinking behind production: defining what stories to tell, how to tell them, and how captured content should be activated across digital, social, events, and brand platforms.


You won't be behind the camera day-to-day, but you will lead projects from concept to final asset, ensuring no shoot is ever "just a shoot."

  • Identify lifestyle storytelling opportunities real-world environments

  • Conduct interviews and walkthroughs with human subjects and internal partners to surface authentic stories
  • Translate real-world moments into compelling visual and written storytelling
  • Present creative ideas clearly and confidently to internal stakeholders

     

 

Production Leadership

  • Lead creative pre-production: define deliverables, build shot lists, and brief photographers, videographers, and creators
  • Provide creative direction during key moments of production (on location or remotely)
  • Ensure every shoot captures a full content ecosystem: hero visuals, detail shots, video, behind-the-scenes, and short-form assets
  • Continuously look for ways to maximize production value and reduce one-off content creation

     

 

360° Content Activation

  • Work with internal creative and marketing teams to translate captured content into assets for campaigns, website, catalogs, presentations, events, and social
  • Ensure content is organized, documented, and delivered in formats that make reuse easy
  • Connect strategy to execution by clearly defining how and where content will be used

     

 

Social Platforms Focus (Instagram & TikTok)

  • Own the creative approach for how stories come to life on Instagram and TikTok
  • Collaborate closely with a videographer and social executor who handles day-to-day publishing
  • Provide strategic direction on formats, narratives, and series development
  • Stay current on platform trends and audience behaviour to guide smarter content planning

     

 

Performance & Evolution

  • Review content performance across channels, particularly social, and apply learnings to future productions
  • Continuously evolve production approaches, formats, and workflows to improve efficiency and impact
  • Look for scalable, repeatable ways to plan and activate content

     

 

What You Bring

  • 3-5 years of experience in content strategy, creative production, or campaign planning
  • Strong storytelling instincts and the ability to shape narratives from real-world environments
  • Hands-on experience planning shoots, briefing creatives, and working cross-functionally
  • A solid understanding of Instagram and TikTok as storytelling platforms (not just posting channels)
  • Excellent project management skills; organized, proactive, and comfortable juggling multiple productions
  • A strategic mindset that thinks beyond individual deliverables to long-term content value
  • Curiosity for design, spaces, construction, and the people behind the work

     

 

Nice to Have

  • Experience developing social-first video series or campaign-driven storytelling
  • Familiarity with tools like Frame.io, Airtable, Canva, or basic editing workflows
  • Background in design, architecture, home improvement, or B2B storytelling
  • English-first is required

     

 

Work Environment

  • Primarily onsite role located just outside Montreal, easily accessible by public transit
  • Collaborative, creative team with a strong focus on quality and storytelling
  • Opportunity to grow creatively while helping shape a more strategic content engine

     

Location: Primarily onsite (just outside Montreal, transit accessible)
