About The Role
You are the packaging expert for our content. A world-class video is useless if no one clicks on it, and you are the person who ensures they do. Your job is to take the core hook of a video and turn it into a high-impact visual that stands out in a crowded feed. You will work in an AI-first environment, using generative tools to create assets and variations that would take hours to build by hand.
Focus Area 1: Visual Storytelling and CTR Optimization
You own the "click."
You design thumbnails that tell a story in a split second. You understand how to use composition, contrast, and color theory to guide the viewer’s eye exactly where you want it.
You are a master of "The Hook." You know how to pair a compelling image with minimal text to create curiosity or urgency.

You manage facial expressions and emotive triggers. You know how to select or generate the perfect "hero" image that connects with a human audience.
You work closely with the Channel Intelligence Lead to analyze A/B test results and refine your designs based on actual performance data.
Focus Area 2: AI-First Composition and Workflow
You use the machine to outpace the competition.
You are a power user of generative AI tools like Midjourney, DALL-E 3, or Stable Diffusion to create unique assets, backgrounds, and characters from scratch.
You use the latest AI features in Photoshop (like Generative Fill and Expand) to manipulate images, swap elements, and clean up compositions in seconds.
You build and maintain a library of AI-generated assets that allow us to move from a concept to a finished thumbnail in record time.
You stay ahead of the curve. When a new AI model or technique drops that can improve our visual quality or speed, you are the first to master it.
Focus Area 3: Iteration and Data-Driven Design
You don't just make one version; you build a system for winning.
You produce multiple variations for every video. You understand that the first idea isn't always the best, and you use AI to quickly test different angles, colors, and compositions.
You are obsessed with the "why" behind the click. You look at CTR (Click-Through Rate) data and qualified view metrics to understand which visual styles are resonating with our specific audience.
You ensure brand consistency. While every thumbnail is an experiment, you make sure the overall "look" of the channel remains premium and recognizable.
What We Are Looking For
Technical Agility: You are a master of the Adobe Suite and a power user of generative AI. You don't get hung up on tools; you use whatever gets the best result the fastest.
Attention to Detail: You have an eye for lighting, shadows, and perspective. You ensure that AI-generated elements blend perfectly into the final composition so they never look "fake."
Speed without sacrificing quality: You thrive on high-volume output. You can turn around multiple high-end thumbnails in a single day without the quality ever dipping.
Analytical Thinking: You don't just "feel" that a design is good. You look at the data and can explain why a certain visual is likely to perform better.
High Ownership: You treat the CTR of every video as your personal responsibility. If a video is underperforming, you are already building a new thumbnail before anyone asks.
