Are you a creative professional with a keen eye for detail and a solid grasp of visual storytelling? We're seeking a talented YouTube Thumbnail Designer who can bring fresh, eye-catching designs to our podcast and news channels. This part-time role offers ongoing work with a steady flow of 16 thumbnails per week across two dynamic YouTube channels.

As a key member of our team, you'll work remotely with the flexibility to manage your schedule, provided you remain responsive during U.S. business hours. Effective communication is crucial, and you'll be expected to collaborate with us via Slack to ensure seamless project execution.

Your Role: You'll be responsible for creating visually appealing, clickable thumbnails that adhere to our established visual brand. While innovation is welcome, consistency with our current style is essential. You'll receive all necessary materials, including title contexts, visual directions, past thumbnails, and occasional Photoshop files to guide your work.

Your Responsibilities:

• Design approximately 16 thumbnails weekly, maintaining a consistent style across channels.
• Adapt quickly to feedback and provide swift turnarounds, often within the same or next day.
• Communicate effectively and organize files for optimal YouTube export.

Is This Role Right for You?

We're looking for someone who thrives in a structured environment and is committed to producing quality work efficiently. If you've designed thumbnails for podcasts or talk-show formats and can replicate an established style with ease, we'd love to hear from you. Reliability, responsiveness, and a focus on click-through rates over pure aesthetics are key traits for success.

This Role May Not Suit You If:

• You prefer complete creative freedom.
• You're not comfortable with quick turnarounds or consistent communication.
• Your experience is primarily in logo or branding design instead of YouTube content.

Experience and Application Details:

We'd like to see 5–10 examples of your previous thumbnail designs, ideally from podcasts or interviews. Please include a brief explanation of your typical turnaround time, weekly availability, and your pricing structure (per thumbnail or weekly rate).

What Success Looks Like:

Within a few weeks, you'll be confidently creating thumbnails that align with our style, delivering them promptly, and managing most of the weekly workload with minimal guidance.

For the right candidate, this position promises long-term collaboration and the opportunity to make a significant impact on our channels.
