Role: Slalom Flex (Project Based) – Presentation Designer (UX-Focused)

Location: Remote supporting PST working hours

Who You’ll Work With

Our teams help organizations of all kinds redefine what’s possible, give shape to the future – and get there. We focus on high-impact projects, meeting our clients where they are to uncover business needs and deliver results. Our teams go beyond the expected to help clients move confidently through ambiguity and risk and drive more transformative outcomes.

The Presentation Designer will transform complex ideas into beautiful, executive‑ready narratives. You’ll lead the creation of high‑impact slides and storytelling assets, apply UX thinking to structure information, and partner with teams to shape content that influences decisions. The ideal candidate is equal parts visual designer, strategist, and facilitator – able to craft presentations from a blank page, build design systems in Google Slides, and elevate every discussion with clear, human‑centered storytelling.

What You’ll Do

Narrative & Storytelling

• Develop crisp narratives for executive reviews and strategy updates.
• Convert ambiguous inputs (notes, spreadsheets, research, whiteboards) into cohesive story arcs with data-backed arguments and a compelling visual flow.

Presentation & Visual Design (Google Slides)

• Design end‑to‑end decks: cover through appendix, including illustrations, data visuals, and iconography.
• Build and maintain master templates, theme palettes, and component libraries in Google Slides (slide masters, layouts, reusable modules).
• Create clean, accessible charts and frameworks (journeys, blueprints, roadmaps, org/process diagrams) with consistent grids, spacing, and typography.

UX‑Informed Content Design

• Apply UX heuristics to communication: chunk information, prioritize signals, and design for scan‑ability and accessibility (WCAG‑aware color contrast, meaningful alt text).
• Synthesize customer research, personas, and journey insights into simple visuals (flows, service blueprints, wireframes/lo‑fi mockups when helpful).

Client Consulting & Collaboration

• Partner with project team to clarify objectives, define the “so what,” and iterate quickly.
• Facilitate working sessions and content reviews; coach stakeholders on effective storytelling and slide hygiene.
• Manage feedback loops, protect the storyline, and ship on time under shifting priorities.

Quality & Governance

• Establish style guides and slide QA checklists; enforce brand, accessibility, and version‑control standards.
• Maintain a clean source of truth (file naming, versions, asset libraries) and ensure decks are distribution‑ready (export, speaker notes, print variants).

What You’ll Bring

• 5–8+ years in consulting, product, or strategy roles with a heavy emphasis on executive presentations and visual storytelling.
• Expert Google Slides skills (masters, themes, custom layouts, linked charts, diagramming, advanced image treatment).
• Strong UX background or mindset: information architecture, journey mapping, lo‑fi wireframing, and translating research into clear artifacts.
• Portfolio of high‑stakes decks (please provide links or PDFs) demonstrating narrative clarity, visual systems, and data visualization.
• Proven ability to self‑start in ambiguity, frame problems, and move from rough inputs to polished outputs quickly.
• Excellent collaboration, facilitation, and stakeholder‑management skills; poised with senior leaders.
• Proficiency with Figma (components, auto‑layout for presentation modules), and light Adobe CC (Illustrator for vector cleanup, Photoshop for image prep).
• Data storytelling with Sheets/Excel; comfort simplifying complex charts and metrics into narrative visuals.
• Experience defining template systems for teams (component libraries, slide kits, icons).
• Knowledge of accessibility and inclusive design best practices for presentations and documents.
• Familiarity with workshop design tools (Miro/FigJam) and methods to co‑create content with stakeholders.
• PowerPoint familiarity is a plus (for cross‑tool handoffs), with Google Slides as primary.
• Ability to work independently and as a team.
• Consulting experience.
