Qualifications - Proven experience as a Thumbnail Designer, Lead Graphic Designer, or Design Manager with a focus on performance-driven digital content. - A strong portfolio showcasing thumbnails or visual campaigns that demonstrate measurable success (CTR, engagement, or growth metrics). - Deep understanding of YouTube and Instagram algorithms, click-through psychology, and what drives viewer curiosity. - Experience managing and mentoring design teams in a fast-paced, creative environment. - Strong project management and workflow optimization skills. Required Skills - Advanced proficiency in Adobe Photoshop (or similar tools). - Deep understanding of color, composition, and typography for mobile-first design. - Strategic mindset with the ability to balance aesthetics, storytelling, and performance data. - Knowledge of visual trends, audience psychology, and high-performing creative patterns on social media. - Excellent communication and leadership skills — able to inspire creativity while maintaining efficiency and accountability. - Ability to manage multiple projects, clients, and brand identities simultaneously.
