About Us
We're a fast-growing US-based media company offering unique subscription services, cutting-edge entertainment, and a range of consumer products. We produce high-volume content across multiple YouTube channels and need a thumbnail designer who can keep pace with a daily production schedule while maintaining a consistently high click-through standard.
This is a fully remote, work-at-your-own-time role. Work is assigned via Trello tickets, so you control your hours as long as you hit turnaround deadlines.
Who We're Looking For
You're a fast, consistent designer with a sharp eye for bold, high-contrast thumbnails that get clicks. You understand that this is production work, not one-off art projects, and you can deliver the same quality on the same turnaround every single day. You follow a detailed written SOP exactly, communicate clearly, and improve based on performance data and feedback.
Core Skills (Must Have)
Strong Adobe Photoshop skills: compositing, scaling, Generative Fill, photorealistic composites, and clean exports (Canva is not sufficient for most of these styles)
Strong AI image generation and prompting skills (ChatGPT image gen / DALL-E / Midjourney)
A good eye for bold, high-contrast thumbnails with clear, readable facial expressions
Ability to take a brief or a title and produce the right visual concept
Fast, consistent turnaround on a daily production schedule
Excellent written English and the ability to follow a detailed written SOP precisely
Comfortable with feedback and iteration
Reliable, communicative, and self-managing
Must-Have Portfolio
A portfolio of YouTube thumbnails, especially commentary, reaction, or podcast style, plus a clear understanding of what makes a thumbnail get clicked.
Your Responsibilities
Design roughly 50 high-performing thumbnails weekly (3 A/B test variants per video across 10 videos)
Create compelling, click-worthy visuals aligned with YouTube best practices
Stay current on platform trends, design styles, and audience behavior
Collaborate with our content and video production teams on creative strategy
Maintain brand consistency while exploring fresh design approaches
Iterate based on CTR data and team feedback
How You Think
You study creators like MrBeast, Ryan Trahan, Alex Hormozi, Diary of a CEO, Cleo Abram, Ali Abdaal, and Colin & Samir. You think constantly about CTR, viewer psychology, packaging, first impressions, and mobile viewing.
