Remote - Part Time

YouTube Designer & Channel Assistant

We are seeking a creative, highly organized YouTube 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.

Part-time: 20 hours per week
Niche: Gaming Content & Culture
Remote: Fully remote, AEDT working hours
Engagement Type: Independent Contractor
Monthly Rate: $400-550 (based on a 20-hour workweek; flexible depending on experience) 

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Thumbnail Design & CTR Optimization:
    • Design highly engaging, scroll-stopping YouTube thumbnails that directly improve click-through rates.
    • Adapt visual styles based on trending gaming topics, memes, and analytics.
  • Light Branding & Identity:
    • Maintain a cohesive visual identity across the entire channel.
    • Create matching banners, avatar graphics, stream overlays, or promotional social templates to ensure the brand feels premium and unified.
  • Channel Management & Upload Operations:
    • Manage the end-to-end upload workflow: add optimized titles, descriptions, tags, metadata, and end screens.
    • Schedule video releases and maintain an organized content library.
  • Administrative & Email Support:
    • Monitor and manage the channel's public/business inbox, responding to inquiries and filtering opportunities professionally.
  • Multimedia & Content Support:
    • Assist with preparing short-form content, pulling highlights, compiling clips, or making minor video adjustments.

Who You Are:

  • 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 is an important tool to have 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.
Nice-to-Haves
  • 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.
  • Understanding of algorithm optimization, keywords, and metadata formatting.
