We’re looking for a skilled thumbnail designer to join a high-performing gaming channel ahead of the GTA VI launch and into the future. This role is centered on creating eye-catching thumbnails for long-form challenge content, progression-style series, and rags-to-riches gameplay videos that stand out in a crowded feed.

As part of the workflow, you’ll be given rough direction for each video, including the concept, title, and supporting assets. From there, you’ll turn ideas into polished thumbnails that feel native to the channel while also performing well in broader YouTube spaces. We’re especially interested in someone who can create both a style that fits our current branding and an alternate version that could work for wider testing and optimization.

This is a fast-moving position with a consistent workload. In the lead-up to GTA VI, the volume will be lighter, but once the game launches, the pace will increase significantly. Quick communication, reliable delivery, and the ability to handle feedback efficiently are essential.

What you’ll be working on:

• Creating thumbnails for challenge-driven and series-based gaming videos
• Producing multiple thumbnail concepts per video when needed
• Delivering work within short turnaround windows
• Supplying fully layered source files for every finished thumbnail

Who we’re looking for:

• A designer with strong experience in gaming content and YouTube packaging
• Someone who understands GTA and is comfortable working with in-game visuals and screenshots
• A creative thinker who can match an existing style while also suggesting fresh alternatives
• A responsive collaborator who can take direction well and adapt quickly

Required skills and tools:

• Advanced ability in Adobe Photoshop and/or Illustrator
• Proven work in the gaming niche
• Strong understanding of thumbnail clarity, composition, and visual impact across mobile, desktop, and TV
• Comfort using Google Drive and Discord for file sharing and communication

This is a great opportunity for a designer who wants to work closely with a major gaming creator and help shape the visual identity of a channel entering a major new content era.

Please send the following with your application:

1. A portfolio or examples of your previous thumbnail work, with confirmation that the work is yours
2. Any available YouTube CTR data tied to your designs
3. A brief note on why you’d like to work with us and how you’d help improve the channel’s overall presentation now and during the GTA VI rollout
