If your work does not align with performance-focused thumbnail design for social media and YouTube, this role will not be a fit.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Thumbnail Designer who understands viewer psychology, click-through rate (CTR), and visual hierarchy.

You will be responsible for designing short-form social media thumbnails that capture attention, spark curiosity, and clearly communicate the core idea of the content.

This role supports multiple personal brand and aesthetic-industry clients, so speed, consistency, and performance awareness are essential.

  • Maintain brand consistency while adapting to different creator styles
  • Produce thumbnails at volume without sacrificing quality or intent
  • Iterate based on feedback and performance insights
What We're Looking For

  • Clear understanding of:
    • CTR-driven design
    • Facial expressions, contrast, framing, and text hierarchy
    • Simplicity over clutter
  • Proficiency in Photoshop or equivalent design tools
  • Ability to work fast, meet deadlines, and manage multiple clients
  • Comfortable receiving direct feedback and iterating quickly
What This Role Is Not

This role is not for:

  • General graphic designers without thumbnail experience
  • Brand-only or aesthetic-first designers
Compensation
  • Short-form thumbnails: $2+ per thumbnail, depending on quality and experience.

(High performers may be considered for increased volume, higher rates, and long-term collaboration.)

Interview ProcessStep 1

Paid or unpaid thumbnail assessment (used to evaluate style, clarity, and CTR instincts)

Step 2

Final interview to assess fit, communication, and workflow alignment

How to Apply

  • Your resume
  • A portfolio specifically showcasing thumbnail work
  • (Optional but encouraged) Any CTR data or performance results

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
