JOB OVERVIEW

You know MrBeast. Now work with the person who helped direct it.

Our founder spent years as a video director at MrBeast, working on content that generated over 10 billion views. He knows what makes someone click. He knows what stops the scroll, what creates curiosity, and what a thumbnail needs to do before a single second of video plays. That knowledge drives everything we do at Biggest Agency.

We produce high-end YouTube shows and podcasts for entrepreneurs and business leaders. We are growing our creative team and looking for a thumbnail designer overseas who understands that a great thumbnail is not decoration. It is the first sale.

What this role will do for you
Most design jobs have you executing someone else’s vision with no context for whether it worked. This one is different.

You will see real performance data. You will know your CTR. You will run A/B tests in YouTube Studio and track what actually makes people click. Over time you will develop an instinct for high-performing thumbnail design that most designers never get the chance to build.

Our standards are high. Our feedback is direct. You will be pushed to think like a strategist, not just a designer.

This role starts part-time with a clear path to full-time as volume scales.

What you will be designing
You design three thumbnails per episode. For each one you will receive a brief, a transcript, and the episode trailer to work from. You pitch your concepts to the team before you build. Once approved, you deliver the finals.

You will start at 9 thumbnails per week (approximately 10 hours), scaling to 36 or more as the agency grows and your capacity expands.

Beyond design, you are part of the performance loop. You will set up A/B tests in YouTube Studio, monitor CTR across shows, and report findings back to the team. If something is not clicking, we need to know why and what to try next. That is part of your job.

You will collaborate closely with our editors and account managers. Thumbnails do not live in isolation. They connect to the episode title, the trailer, and the overall show brand. We expect you to understand that relationship and design accordingly.

What we need from you
Canva (required)
Adobe Photoshop and/or Illustrator (strongly preferred)
Proven experience designing YouTube thumbnails specifically — not just general graphic design
Understanding of CTR, YouTube thumbnail best practices, and what drives clicks
Ability to concept, pitch, and execute — not just take direction
Comfortable working inside YouTube Studio for A/B testing and analytics
Available during US business hours for feedback and collaboration
Fast, reliable internet

What great looks like in this role
You study thumbnails obsessively. You know which channels are winning on YouTube right now and why. You can look at a transcript and immediately see the angle that will make someone click. You take feedback without ego and apply it faster than expected. You track your own performance and bring data to conversations, not just opinions.

You treat every thumbnail like it is the most important one you have ever made. Because for that client, it is.

To apply
Record a 2 to 3 minute video. Introduce yourself, show us your best YouTube thumbnail work, and walk us through one thumbnail you are proud of... what was the brief, what was your thinking, and what did it perform like if you have the data. Upload it to YouTube or Google Drive and include the link.

Also include a link to your portfolio. The work matters more than your resume.
