Job description

YouTube Thumbnail Designer & Channel Assistant

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.

Part-time: 20 hours per week
Niche: Gaming Content & Culture
Remote: Fully remote, AEDT working hours (PH-based candidates preferred)
Engagement Type: Independent Contractor
Monthly Rate: $400-550 (based on a 20-hour workweek; flexible depending on experience)

What You'll Be Doing:

Thumbnail Design & CTR Optimization:
- 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.
Channel Management & Upload Operations:
- 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.
Administrative & Email Support:
- 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.
Multimedia & Content Support:
- Assist with pulling highlights, compiling clips, or making minor adjustments to short-form content (TikToks/Shorts/Reels) using tools like CapCut.

Who You Are:

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.
