About the Role:

We’re looking for a highly creative, data-driven YouTube Thumbnail Designer who understands visual psychology, virality, and click behavior. You’ll be responsible for creating scroll-stopping thumbnails that drive high CTR, align with the brand, and capture the core idea of each video instantly.

What You’ll Do:

• Design high-performing YouTube thumbnails that instantly communicate curiosity, conflict, or a compelling outcome.
• Work closely with the Content Strategy Lead to interpret video scripts, hooks, and themes into visual concepts.
• Implement and A/B test different styles and concepts for optimization.
• Maintain visual consistency while evolving the aesthetic as the channel grows.
• Stay on top of YouTube trends, competitor thumbnails, and algorithm shifts.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience designing high-CTR thumbnails (portfolio required).
• Deep understanding of YouTube thumbnail psychology (face close-ups, emotional triggers, curiosity gaps, contrast, minimal text, etc.).
• Expertise in Photoshop or similar design tools.
• Ability to work fast, iterate quickly, and adapt based on performance data.
• Strong awareness of business, educational, and storytelling-driven YouTube content.
• A strategic mindset: You don’t just make things look good—you make them convert.
• Bonus: Experience working with personal brands or business/educational YouTube channels.
