JOB OVERVIEW

We are hiring a highly skilled and serious Thumbnail Designer to join our YouTube channel on a dedicated part-time retainer.

This position directly impacts our click-through rate (CTR), video performance, and overall channel growth. We are looking for someone who understands that thumbnails are packaging — and packaging drives revenue.

We currently have 262,000+ subscribers, generate approximately 3.4 million views per month, and are growing rapidly. We are expanding our team and looking for motivated, creative individuals who understand human psychology and visual persuasion.

• Ability to create emotional intensity and strong visual hierarchy
• Understanding of what drives high CTR on YouTube
• Fast turnaround and ability to work under deadlines
• Reliable communication and team-oriented mindset

???? Compensation
Starting Pay: $600 USD per month
This includes:
• Up to 25 thumbnails per month
• 24-hour turnaround expectation
• 1–2 revision rounds per thumbnail
Additional thumbnails beyond 25 will be compensated separately.
This is a dedicated part-time retainer position. You will be expected to prioritize our projects when assigned.
Compensation increases are performance-based.
???? 60–90 Day Assessment Period
All new hires will begin with a 60–90 day assessment period. During this time, we will evaluate:
• Quality of thumbnail designs
• Consistency of turnaround time
• Ability to follow direction
• Communication and teamwork
• Initiative and creative improvement

At the end of this period, we will determine long-term fit and discuss potential growth opportunities based on performance.

???? Application Requirements (READ CAREFULLY)
To be considered, you MUST:
Include the word “CTR” in your application
Send 2–3 YouTube thumbnails you personally created
Briefly explain what makes a YouTube thumbnail high-performing
Confirm you are willing to complete a sample thumbnail design as part of the interview process (unpaid)
Confirm you are open to a video interview if shortlisted
Applications that do not follow instructions will not be considered.
???? Sample Thumbnail Test
Shortlisted candidates will be asked to complete a sample thumbnail design to evaluate skill level, creativity, ability to follow direction, and understanding of our channel style.
