[Hiring] YouTube Thumbnail Designer & Channel Assistant @Bamboo Works

Role Description

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.

Qualifications

• 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
• Hands-on experience with DaVinci Resolve for video management, clip rendering, or asset adjustments
• Proficiency in Photoshop, Canva, or Illustrator
• 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

Requirements

• Experience developing style guides, banners, or cohesive brand assets for digital creators
• Deep familiarity with gaming trends, popular creators, memes, and current gaming culture
• Experience with basic video editing tools like CapCut or Premiere Pro
