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

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.

Thumbnail styles we are looking for: https://drive.google.com/drive...

• Design short-form (social media) thumbnails for Reels, Shorts, TikTok, and other social platforms
• Translate video concepts into clear, curiosity-driven visual hooks
• Collaborate closely with video editors and content strategists
• 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

• Strong portfolio showcasing thumbnail design work (required)
• 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

This role is not for:

• General graphic designers without thumbnail experience
• Brand-only or aesthetic-first designers

• 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.)

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

Final interview to assess fit, communication, and workflow alignment

To apply, please submit:

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