• Create charts, diagrams, and visual elements to support complex information
• Collaborate with subject matter experts, writers, and project leads to refine slide content
• Prepare presentation files for internal briefings, executive reviews, and external communications

Requirements:

• Strong portfolio demonstrating presentation design, information layout, and visual communication
• Advanced proficiency in PowerPoint
• Ability to organize and structure complex or technical information clearly
• Strong understanding of visual hierarchy, typography, and layout
• Experience working within established brand or design systems
• High attention to detail and strong file organization skills
