Thumbnail Designer for YouTubers with 100M+ Subscribers (Photoshop + AI)

What is the company?

We work with some of the largest YouTubers on earth, with channels of 100+ million subscribers.

We are a London-based startup that partners with the world's biggest creators.

What will you be doing?

You will be our core thumbnail designer, working directly with people who have built YouTube channels with millions of subscribers. You will learn from the very best in thumbnails and see up close what makes a video explode and what makes it flop.

You will also get access to our own AI thumbnail tools, built in-house by our development team specifically for high-performing YouTube thumbnails. These are tools you won't find anywhere else, and they let you create faster and at a higher standard than designers working the traditional way.

Millions of viewers will see your thumbnails from your first week. Every design you make will be tested in the real world, at a scale most designers never get to experience.

This is not a slow, comfortable role. You will need to work hard and fast, deliver high-quality thumbnails on tight deadlines, and keep raising the bar. In return, you will grow faster here than anywhere else.

You may also be asked to design social graphics, ad creatives, and assets for our apps and brands.

Responsibilities include:

• Designing high-CTR YouTube thumbnails for some of the biggest channels in the world.
• Cutting out, retouching, and compositing faces, products, and scenes in Photoshop.
• Using our in-house AI tools to generate concepts, scenes, and assets faster without sacrificing quality.
• Giving feedback to our development team to help improve the AI tools you use every day.
• Producing multiple variations per video for A/B testing, and learning from the results.
• Keeping thumbnails consistent with each channel's style while pushing for bold, fresh ideas.
• Researching trending thumbnails and competitor channels to spot what's working right now.
• Delivering quickly across several channels at once, without dropping quality.

About you

You are ambitious and hungry, and you want to become one of the best thumbnail designers in the world.

You thrive in fast-paced environments where speed, output, and results matter more than corporate processes. You are happy to put in the work because you know this kind of opportunity is rare.

You should be:

• Highly skilled in Photoshop (cutouts, colour grading, lighting, compositing).
• Comfortable working with AI image tools and quick to learn new ones. We will train you on our in-house tools.

What is the best YouTube thumbnail you have ever seen and why did it work?

• Someone with a portfolio of real YouTube thumbnails. Experience with large channels or creators is a big plus.
• Obsessed with what makes people click: faces, emotion, contrast, curiosity, and simplicity.
• Fast. You can take a brief and turn it into a great thumbnail quickly, then do it again.
• Open to direct feedback and eager to learn from people at the top of the game.
• Organised and disciplined, delivering on time and communicating clearly.
• Excited by YouTube, the creator economy, and building from scratch.

Pay and hours

Pay: $1,000/month with performance-based bonuses.

This is your chance to design for the biggest channels on the planet, learn from the best in the business, use AI tools nobody else has, and help build a channel with experts.
