If your work does not align with performance-focused thumbnail design for social media and YouTube, this role will not be a fit.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Thumbnail Designer who understands viewer psychology, click-through rate (CTR), and visual hierarchy.

You will be responsible for designing short-form social media thumbnails that capture attention, spark curiosity, and clearly communicate the core idea of the content.

This role supports multiple personal brand and aesthetic-industry clients, so speed, consistency, and performance awareness are essential.

  • Maintain brand consistency while adapting to different creator styles
  • Produce thumbnails at volume without sacrificing quality or intent
  • Iterate based on feedback and performance insights
What We're Looking For

  • Clear understanding of:
    • CTR-driven design
    • Facial expressions, contrast, framing, and text hierarchy
    • Simplicity over clutter
  • Proficiency in Photoshop or equivalent design tools
  • Ability to work fast, meet deadlines, and manage multiple clients
  • Comfortable receiving direct feedback and iterating quickly
What This Role Is Not

This role is not for:

  • General graphic designers without thumbnail experience
  • Brand-only or aesthetic-first designers
Compensation
  • Short-form thumbnails: $2+ per thumbnail, depending on quality and experience.

(High performers may be considered for increased volume, higher rates, and long-term collaboration.)

Interview ProcessStep 1

Paid or unpaid thumbnail assessment (used to evaluate style, clarity, and CTR instincts)

Step 2

Final interview to assess fit, communication, and workflow alignment

How to Apply

  • Your resume
  • A portfolio specifically showcasing thumbnail work
  • (Optional but encouraged) Any CTR data or performance results
