Novus Media

<div><p><b>POSITION SUMMARY:
</b></p><p>We&rsquo;re looking for a versatile Presentation &amp; Experience Designer to own the visual quality of our pitches, proposals, and client-facing materials. As a media agency without a dedicated creative team, this role is critical in translating strategy and ideas into clear, compelling, and well-designed presentations.</p>
<p>
This role is design-forward, not strategy-heavy: you&rsquo;ll work closely with account, strategy, and leadership teams to shape content into persuasive narratives, polished decks, and simple digital experiences. You&rsquo;ll also provide light UX design support for client-facing flows, mockups, and wireframes when needed.</p>
<p>
This is an ideal role for a designer who enjoys structure, storytelling, and clarity&mdash;and wants ownership over presentation quality across the agency.</p><br>
<p></p>
<p><b>
PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES:
</b></p><p><b>Presentation &amp; Deck Design</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Design high-quality pitch decks, proposals, and client presentations from outlines, notes, or rough drafts</li>

<li>Create and maintain presentation templates (Google Slides / PowerPoint / Keynote)</li>
<li>Ensure visual consistency, hierarchy, and readability across all materials</li>

<li>Collaborate with leadership on high-stakes new business pitches</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Light UX &amp; Experience Design</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Create low- to mid-fidelity wireframes for simple client-facing experiences (landing pages, dashboards, content hubs)</li>
<li>Improve flow, structure, and usability of presentations and digital concepts</li>
<li>Partner with strategy or media teams to visualize user journeys and touchpoints</li>
<li>Provide basic UX thinking (information architecture, hierarchy, clarity), not full product design</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Visual Systems</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Help define and evolve the agency&rsquo;s visual standards in the absence of a formal creative team</li>
<li>Build reusable design components (slide layouts, icons, charts)</li>
<li>Apply client brand guidelines accurately and thoughtfully</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Collaboration &amp; Process</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Work independently with minimal hand-holding</li>
<li>Manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced agency environment</li>
<li>Take feedback from non-designers and translate it into effective design solutions</li></ul><br>
<p></p>
<p><b>
REQUIREMENTS:
</b></p><ul><li>3&ndash;6 years of experience in presentation design, graphic design, or agency design</li>
<li>Strong expertise in Google Slides and/or PowerPoint (this is essential)</li>
<li>Proficiency in Figma (or similar) for layout and light UX work</li>
<li>Strong understanding of:
<ul><li>Visual hierarchy</li>
<li>Typography</li>
<li>Layout and spacing</li>
<li>Storytelling through design</li>
</ul></li><li>Experience designing for client-facing or executive audiences</li>

This role is ideal for a detail-oriented designer eager to contribute to sophisticated, high-caliber landscape projects. The successful candidate will demonstrate proficiency in AutoCAD and SketchUp, with proven experience in construction documentation, site inventory and analysis, and estimating.
