Thumbnail Designer

We’re Jubilee Media.

At Jubilee, we're on a mission to provoke understanding and create human connection. We explore experiences that push people to feel more, think more, and see more in others. We challenge the belief of a black-and-white world, and instead embrace the complexity and richness of our experiences. By magnifying these stories we can discover personal identities, shared truths, and how we fit in the overarching human story. People are at the heart of everything we do, and we're looking for the next passionate teammate to join us on this journey. Together, we have the power to shift perspectives—and maybe even change the world.

About This Role

We’re looking for a creative Thumbnail Designer who can make visuals that stop people mid-scroll.

• Manage an A/B testing workflow, track performance, and report on results to continuously improve CTR.
• Continuously study the thumbnail and packaging landscape, keeping up with trends and best practices to adjust our creative strategy as audience behavior and platform trends evolve.
• Collaborate with production, brand, and marketing teams to ensure designs align with goals and audience insights.
• Manage freelance thumbnail designers and coordinate on-set photographers.
• Expert-level Photoshop skills, including:
• Enhancing RAW photography with manual color correction, lighting and shadow adjustments, and white balance.

• Strong Photoshop skills and experience enhancing RAW photography and blending assets.
• Comfortable using AI tools to assist in creative workflows.
• Skilled at managing production assets, coordinating photographers, and guiding freelancers.
