Lead Artist (Thumbnails) | How To Beat

Job brief

Thumbnail Artists are the lifeblood of our HTB videos. No video can be watched if it isn’t first clicked on, and a good thumbnail creates the urge in the viewer to find out more and gets their foot in the door. By designing an incredible thumbnail, your artwork and the HTB videos will be seen by millions! 

Our ideal candidate has an analytical mind that is able to analyze when a thumbnail is successful and when it isn’t. Not every thumbnail is the same, and you have to be quick on your feet and have the creativity to create great art (even from occasionally bad stills!). If you have a competitive nature to strive to create a better thumbnail with each video, you’ll fit right in.

Responsibilities:

What you’ll be doing:

  • Creating thumbnail designs from stills provided or from scratch if needed.
  • Collaborating with the editors so the stills picked are the best choices.

Requirements:

What makes you a fit: 

  • Years of experience with graphic design.
  • The analytical mind to understand the ins and outs of a thumbnail.
  • Communication and time management skills.
  • Understanding of YouTube trends.
  • A creative resume and portfolio.

Benefits:

  • Competitive salary
  • Independence & flexible hours
