About the Role

This is a freelance role for a Tendem project. As a Presentation Designer, you will focus on storytelling and visual hierarchy.

You will use tools such as PowerPoint, Keynote, Adobe Creative Suite, and Figma to create polished, presentation-ready deliverables.

Key Responsibilities

• Design high-stakes pitch decks and professional one-pagers tailored for specific audiences.
• Translate complex data into clear visual storytelling with a strong focus on minimalism and precise information hierarchy.
• Elevate presentations using custom fonts, elegant animations, and perfect visual consistency.
• Enforce a polished, persuasive, and premium corporate-meets-creative style across all deliverables.
