ROLE:
As the Lead Thumbnail Designer at Knwn Local, you'll build and develop a team of 5-10+ thumbnail designers who create scroll-stopping visuals that drive channel growth for America's top real estate leaders. This is a player-coach leadership role where you'll spend 60-80% of your time managing, mentoring, and building systems, and 20-40% hands-on designing complex projects.
You'll own design quality standards, team development, and creative operations across the agency, partnering closely with Pod Managers, Creative Director, and leadership on strategic initiatives. Your success is measured not by how many thumbnails you design, but by how well your team performs, grows, and delivers results that drive client success.
This role is perfect for someone who loves developing designers as much as designing itself - someone who gets energized by building systems, coaching talent, and multiplying impact through others.
If you want to stay purely hands-on without management responsibilities, this isn't the right fit.
Team Leadership & Development (50-70% of role)
- Directly manage 5-8 thumbnail designers conducting weekly 1-on-1s focused on skill development and performance
- Lead bi-weekly team design reviews with constructive feedback and best practice sharing
- Build comprehensive onboarding programs and training materials for new designer hires
- Create career development pathways with clear promotion criteria for design team members
- Conduct performance reviews and manage accountability through the Clarify Instrument Coach Decide framework
- Handle hiring (writing JDs, screening portfolios, conducting interviews, making offers)
- Build 2-5+ year relationships with designers through proactive retention and engagement str
