About The Position

We are seeking a creative, highly organized YouTube Thumbnail Designer & Channel Assistant to become the operational and visual backbone of a growing gaming-focused YouTube channel. This unique role bridges the gap between high-impact graphic design and meticulous channel administration. Your primary mission is to capture viewer attention in the split second they scroll past a video by designing high-performing, high-CTR (Click-Through Rate) thumbnails. When you aren't designing, you will be managing the channel's day-to-day operations—handling uploads, optimization, email correspondence, and workflow organization.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience working with YouTube operations and/or thumbnail designing
• Exceptional graphic design skills with a specific portfolio demonstrating YouTube thumbnails, gaming graphics, or high-impact social media visuals.
• A strong instinct for what makes a viewer click—mastery of contrast, focal points, and expression placement.
• Excellent written and spoken English skills for handling business emails and audience interactions.
• High level of administrative discipline; you don't let emails slide, or metadata get sloppy.
• Proficiency in Photoshop, Canva, or Illustrator.

Nice To Haves

• Deep familiarity with gaming trends, popular creators, memes, and current gaming culture.
• Experience with basic video editing tools like CapCut or Premiere Pro.
• Understanding of algorithm optimization, keywords, and metadata formatting.

Responsibilities

• Design highly engaging, scroll-stopping YouTube thumbnails that directly improve click-through rates.
• Adapt visual styles based on trending gaming topics, memes, and analytics.
• Maintain a cohesive visual identity across the channel while ensuring each video stands out.
• Manage the end-to-end upload workflow: add optimized titles, descriptions, tags, metadata, and end screens.
• Schedule video releases and maintain an organized content library.
• Monitor and manage the channel's public/business inbox, responding to inquiries and filtering opportunities professionally.
• Track pending deliverables and keep the creator's schedule organized.
• Assist with pulling highlights, compiling clips, or making minor adjustments to short-form content (TikToks/Shorts/Reels) using tools like CapCut.
