We’ve got the brands, we’ve got the stars, we’ve got the power to achieve our mission to entertain the planet – now all we’re missing is… YOU!

Create or oversee YouTube thumbnails (design sense matters here).
Work closely with podcast, video, and editorial teams to optimize content for distribution.
Qualifications

Experience with editing tools (Premiere Pro preferred) and basic design (Canva or Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator).
Deep understanding of the independent media ecosystem and what kinds of content break through.
Willing to work nights and weekends when the moment calls for it.
A team player—no ego, no “that’s not my job.”

Has experience and a hunger to use AI tools, learning from them to improve both tactical and strategic choices for the role.
