YouTube Thumbnail Designer to join our team and create high-performing YouTube thumbnails across several growing channels focused on technology, AI, SaaS, tutorials, and educational content.
This is a long-term opportunity for someone who understands what makes people click, embraces modern AI-powered design workflows, and can consistently deliver high-quality thumbnails on schedule.
Responsibilities
- Design eye-catching, high-CTR thumbnails for YouTube videos.
- Create compelling visual concepts using composition, contrast, facial expression, typography, and color psychology.
- Use AI tools for image generation, editing, and workflow optimization where appropriate.
- Generate or enhance visuals using AI image generation tools when required (backgrounds, objects, scenes, character consistency).
- Perform advanced retouching, cutouts, compositing, and color grading.
- Collaborate with producers, editors, and channel owners on thumbnail concepts and title–thumbnail alignment.
- Follow channel design styles and brand guidelines.
- Produce thumbnail variations for A/B testing.
- Incorporate feedback and revisions when required.
- Deliver projects within agreed deadlines.
- Organize project files, layered sources, and reusable templates.
Requirements
- At least 1 year of Experience designing thumbnails for YouTube channels.
- Strong Experience with AI image tools such as Nano Banana Pro, Midjourney, Flux or similar.
- Heavy, hands-on experience with AI image generation and editing tools — this is a core part of the role, not a bonus.
- Strong proficiency with modern designer tools (Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma, Canva, Illustrator, or equivalent).
- Ability to work efficiently under tight deadlines.
- Strong portfolio showcasing previous thumbnail or design work.
- Good English proficiency for understanding briefs and feedback.
- Strong attention to detail, typography, and visual hierarchy.
- Team-oriented, reliable, and proactive.
Nice to Have
- Experience with AI editing tools such as Generative Fill, Magnific, Topaz, or similar.
- Familiarity with LoRA training or face-consistency workflows.
- Understanding of YouTube CTR, packaging, and A/B testing best practices.
- Experience creating visuals for tech, AI, SaaS, or educational channels.
What We Offer
- Consistent, long-term work.
- Opportunity to work on large-scale YouTube channels.
- Structured workflows with clear briefs and fast feedback.
- Professional, collaborative remote team.
- Opportunities to work with the latest AI creative tools and workflows.
- Opportunities for growth and skill development.
