What you will do

• Partner with directors, vice presidents, executives, communications teams, and business teams to clarify audiences, messages, and intended outcomes.
• Turn dense drafts, incomplete briefs, complex data, and fragmented ideas into focused narratives, including story structures, slide headlines, and presentation copy.
• Concept, design, refine, and deliver executive presentations, keynotes, leadership communications, business reviews, company meetings, and other high-visibility communications.
• Create original graphics, diagrams, charts, visual frameworks, information-design systems, and purposeful animation that improve understanding.
• Manage multiple workstreams from ambiguity through delivery, including scope, dependencies, risks, accessibility, data accuracy, testing, editable files, and handoffs.
• Raise team quality through critique, reusable frameworks, presentation systems, shared expertise, and guidance for designers, agencies, and production partners.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in presentation design, visual communications, graphic design, information design, brand design, editorial design, or a closely related discipline.
• Substantial in-house experience at a large, complex, matrixed company, including sustained direct partnership with executives and senior business leaders on consequential communications.
• Experience working across business units, communications teams, subject-matter experts, and creative disciplines while handling layered stakeholders and sensitive information.
• Demonstrated ability to independently lead an ambiguous communication problem through narrative development, creative direction, hands-on design, and final delivery; experience in a large technology or product-led organization is particularly relevant.
• A portfolio showing outstanding contemporary design, original graphic work, high-stakes executive storytelling, and a clear explanation of personal contributions.
• Mastery of typography, layout, composition, visual hierarchy, image-making, pacing, and creative rationale.
• Sophisticated information-design skills and editorial judgment for simplifying data, diagrams, processes, and complex arguments without losing meaning.
• Hands-on motion-design capability, including purposeful animation beyond standard slide transitions.
• Strong business judgment, listening, writing, presentation, facilitation, feedback-synthesis, confidentiality, and stakeholder-partnership skills.
• Self-directed principal-level working style with the ability to make recommendations, move work forward, improve others’ work through critique and systems, and remain accountable for outcomes and collaboration.
• Advanced proficiency in Keynote and Google Slides, including sophisticated, reliable, editable presentation systems.
• Strong command of Figma, Adobe Illustrator, and Photoshop, plus hands-on experience with After Effects or an equivalent motion-design tool.
• Ability to use approved AI-enabled tools thoughtfully without replacing original thinking, accuracy, confidentiality, or design judgment.
• Portfolio case studies should show how communication challenges were clarified, narratives shaped, visual approaches developed, and final work delivered; personal contributions must be distinguished from collaborators’ work.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with PowerPoint.
• Approved, nonconfidential or appropriately anonymized portfolio case studies.
