Senior Visual, Communications Designer, Presentations & Multimedia

The most important ideas rarely arrive perfectly formed. They begin as a rough outline, a complicated product concept, a collection of data, or an executive’s vision that has not yet been translated into something an audience can immediately understand.

We are looking for a highly conceptual, AI-forward Senior Visual Communications Designer who can find the idea inside the information—and communicate it visually with clarity, intelligence, and impact.

Presentations will be a major focus of this role because they are among the most powerful and underestimated creative formats in any organization. A great presentation does not simply convey information. It persuades, inspires, creates understanding, and moves an audience.

But this role extends beyond PowerPoint and Keynote. You will translate important company stories and concepts across presentations, event environments, video, motion graphics, digital content, executive communications, infographics, diagrams, social assets, and other visual formats.

You will sit at the center of how we communicate our most important stories to customers, prospects, executives, employees, analysts, and the market. You will be the person we turn to when the stakes are highest: a keynote at our global user conference, a product launch in front of thousands of people, an executive strategy presentation, or a complex AI concept that needs to become immediately understandable.

You are not simply a production designer waiting for perfectly written direction. You are a visual thinker and creative problem-solver. You can absorb complex information, identify the central idea, develop an original visual approach, and recommend the best medium for bringing it to life.

You are also an AI-native designer. You actively use AI to accelerate exploration, concept development, image creation, storyboarding, asset production, iteration, and workflow efficiency—while applying the judgment and craft required to ensure the final work is original, accurate, intentional, and unmistakably on brand.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Visual Concepting and Communication

• Translate complex business, product, technical, and strategic ideas into clear, compelling visual concepts.
• Develop creative approaches from rough briefs, incomplete content, executive input, data, speaker notes, or early-stage ideas.
• Identify the central message within a large amount of information and create a visual system that makes it easier to understand and remember.
• Recommend the right creative format for the idea, whether that is a presentation, diagram, animation, short-form video, infographic, event visual, digital asset, or combination of mediums.
• Create conceptual frameworks, visual metaphors, diagrams, information graphics, and data visualizations that make abstract ideas tangible.
• Bring a distinct point of view to the work rather than simply formatting or decorating content.

Presentation Design and Production

• Design and produce presentations across the full spectrum—from clear, functional internal communications to high-end, visually sophisticated keynotes for major external events.
• Work in Microsoft PowerPoint and Apple Keynote at an expert level, selecting the right platform for the audience, environment, and production requirements.
• Transform rough outlines, raw content, and speaker notes into polished visual narratives with a clear structure, pace, and emotional arc.
• Produce large-scale main-stage presentations for user conferences, customer summits, product launches, executive meetings, and company events.
• Incorporate animation, video, live demos, data visualization, speaker choreography, and multi-screen content into cohesive presentation experiences.
• Build and maintain presentation templates, slide libraries, modular assets, and design systems that enable consistent, on-brand output at scale.
• Ensure presentation files are technically reliable, efficiently constructed, and prepared for handoff, rehearsal, and live production.

Multimedia and Cross-Channel Design

• Extend visual concepts beyond presentations into formats such as event screens, digital experiences, social media, executive communications, videos, one-pagers, infographics, internal campaigns, and customer-facing assets.
• Edit and produce short-form video content, including keynote openers, product demos, executive videos, customer stories, social clips, and event sizzle reels.
• Create light motion graphics, animated typography, transitions, titles, diagrams, and presentation-integrated animations using Adobe After Effects or similar tools.
• Develop storyboards and visual treatments for more advanced motion or video projects that may be completed with internal or external production partners.
• Source, generate, select, and adapt photography, illustration, iconography, video, and other assets to create a cohesive visual language.
• Partner with brand, content, events, product marketing, communications, and digital teams to ensure ideas translate consistently across channels.
• Understand the fundamentals of live-event and screen-based design, including scale, resolution, aspect ratios, legibility, pacing, and environmental context.

AI-Enabled Creative Practice

• Use generative AI and AI-assisted creative tools as an integral part of the design process—not as an occasional add-on.
• Apply AI to accelerate concept exploration, mood boards, storyboards, visual prototyping, image generation, asset adaptation, presentation development, and production workflows.
• Evaluate emerging AI design tools and determine where they can meaningfully improve speed, quality, scalability, or creative possibility.
• Build repeatable AI-assisted workflows that allow the creative team to explore more directions, iterate faster, and reduce low-value manual production.
• Use strong judgment regarding visual quality, brand integrity, accuracy, intellectual property, disclosure, and responsible AI use.
• Share effective AI workflows, prompts, techniques, and lessons with other members of the creative and marketing organization.
• Maintain a high creative standard regardless of how the work was produced; AI should accelerate craft, not replace it.

Visual Storytelling and Narrative Structure

• Collaborate with speakers, executives, strategists, and content owners to understand what an audience needs to think, feel, understand, or do.
• Help shape the story—not simply design the content after it has been finalized.
• Apply strong editorial judgment to distill complex information into clear, audience-appropriate narratives.
• Know what to emphasize, what to simplify, what to remove, and how to sequence information for maximum impact.
• Create visual pacing and moments of emphasis that hold attention and make important ideas memorable.
• Ensure every major deliverable has a clear point of view and takes the audience somewhere.

Project and Stakeholder Leadership

• Own creative projects from initial brief and concept development through design, review, production, quality assurance, and final delivery.
• Work directly with senior executives and high-expectation stakeholders, asking the right questions and translating their input into strong creative work.
• Present concepts and creative decisions with clarity and confidence, explaining how the visual approach supports the communication objective.
• Lead review sessions, gather feedback, distinguish preferences from business requirements, and incorporate input without compromising the integrity of the work.
• Manage multiple concurrent projects and fast-moving deadlines while communicating priorities, risks, and tradeoffs proactively.
• Set realistic expectations regarding timelines, scope, and production complexity.
• Push back constructively when a request, timeline, or creative direction would compromise quality or effectiveness.
• Build trusted relationships across the organization and become a go-to creative partner for high-stakes communication moments.

QUALIFICATIONS

Required

• 5–8 years of professional experience in visual communications, presentation design, brand design, multimedia design, or a closely related creative role.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating conceptual thinking, sophisticated visual design, information design, and the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly.
• Expert-level proficiency in Microsoft PowerPoint and Apple Keynote, including advanced animation, master-slide architecture, template development, and large-file management.
• Demonstrated experience producing main-stage, conference-level, product-launch, or executive presentations for high-profile audiences.
• Strong visual design fundamentals, including typography, composition, layout, hierarchy, color, imagery, and visual systems.
• Exceptional visual storytelling and narrative instincts—you can receive a large, unstructured collection of information and find the story and visual idea within it.
• Demonstrated experience using generative AI and AI-assisted design tools to improve the speed, range, and efficiency of creative work.
• The ability to explain how AI has been incorporated into your creative process, with portfolio examples or case studies showing its practical application.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Illustrator and Photoshop.
• Working proficiency in Adobe After Effects or a similar motion-design tool, with the ability to create light motion graphics, animated type, transitions, and visual explainers.
• Video editing proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or a similar platform.
• Experience designing across multiple formats and channels, not solely presentations.
• Strong project-management skills and the ability to manage multiple high-priority workstreams simultaneously.
• Strong interpersonal skills and confidence working directly with senior executives and demanding stakeholders.
• The ability to work independently, make sound creative decisions, and move projects forward without requiring highly prescriptive direction.

Preferred

• Experience supporting C-suite executives, high-profile speakers, major product launches, or large company events.
• Background in B2B technology, enterprise software, complex products, or another environment requiring the visualization of abstract or technical ideas.
• Experience with live-event production, stage presentation logistics, AV workflows, multi-screen environments, or show-site execution.
• Familiarity with collaborative presentation and design tools such as Google Slides, Figma, and Adobe Express.
• Experience creating data visualizations, product diagrams, systems illustrations, or visual frameworks.
• Familiarity with generative image, video, presentation, and creative-automation platforms.
• Experience developing reusable creative systems, templates, modular assets, or AI-assisted production workflows.
• The ability to storyboard or art-direct more advanced animation, video, or experiential work in partnership with specialists or external agencies.

“SPECIAL SAUCE”

• You can listen to someone explain a complicated idea and begin seeing the visual solution before they have finished talking.
• You are intellectually curious and able to quickly understand unfamiliar products, technologies, business models, and strategic concepts.
• You have watched a great keynote and immediately started thinking about how it was built—the pacing, visual system, transitions, stage environment, and moment the audience leaned forward.
• You are a visual thinker who sees structure, hierarchy, and narrative in information that other people experience as noise.
• You do not need every answer before you begin. You can create clarity from ambiguity and give form to ideas that are still developing.
• You use AI naturally and thoughtfully to explore more possibilities, move faster, and spend more of your time on the highest-value creative decisions.
• You are meticulous about craft. You notice when the type is wrong, when the hierarchy is unclear, when an animation is distracting, or when the story takes a wrong turn—and you fix it.
• You understand that simplicity is often the result of deep thinking, not less work.
• You are calm under pressure. You may have finalized slides backstage shortly before a show went live, but your judgment and standards did not disappear.
• You can manage a demanding stakeholder, protect the work, and still build a trusting relationship.
• You are self-directed, dependable, and accountable. You own your projects completely and do not need to be chased.
• You take genuine pride in creating work that helps an audience understand something, feel something, and take action.
