YouTube Thumbnail Artist

The Role

We’re searching for a rare breed: a thumbnail designer who treats every 1280×720 frame like a high-stakes billboard on the world’s biggest platform.

Your thumbnails don’t just look good — they win.
They turn casual scrollers into viewers and push videos into the algorithm’s favor.

What You’ll Do

• Produce multiple high-impact variations for every video
• Study and adapt the latest proven tactics from the fastest-growing channels
• Collaborate directly with creators and editors through quick, clear feedback loops
• Deliver fully layered, organized source files (PSD or equivalent)
• Continuously improve based on real performance data

Who You Are

• You already have thumbnails live on successful YouTube channels (links required — no exceptions)
• You can point to specific videos where your thumbnail clearly lifted CTR
• Expert in Adobe Photoshop with advanced retouching and compositing skills
• Obsessed with what makes humans click: emotion, curiosity, surprise, contrast, simplicity
• Up to date with 2025–2026 thumbnail trends (MrBeast evolution, faceless channels, minimalism, hyper-realism, etc.)
• Fast, responsive, and comfortable with rapid iteration
• Calm under tight deadlines and direct feedback
