Every video starts with an idea, and every idea lives or dies by its thumbnail. That's where you come in.
We're looking for a Concept Artist to dream up the visual hooks that make millions of people click. If you look at the thumbnails across our channels and think "I could have created a better concept than that", this is your time to shine!
What you'll actually do- Turn video ideas into attention-grabbing concepts for future thumbnail, before a single frame is shot
- Sketch the "what if" moments (e.g. the trap, the twist, the stakes) in a single frame
- Work directly with the creative team shaping what the internet sees next
- Push every concept until it's instantly readable, even with the sound off and the title hidden
- A sharp eye for what makes people stop scrolling
- Clean, simple, high-clarity concept work
- An instinct for stakes, drama, and clickability
- Someone who studies what works (and what doesn't) and has opinions about it
Resume optional. Show us your skills.
Hit apply below, and we'll send you a creative brief for an existing video and thumbnail. Create your better version, send it back, and let the work speak for itself.
Our team will review every submission and set up interviews with those who demonstrate skills that align with what we're looking for.
We are redefining what entertainment and storytelling look like at global scale. Every piece of content we publish reaches millions and influences culture in real time. This is your opportunity to lead the team that decides how those moments come to life across every screen.
