Presentation Designer

A major global airline is looking for a Presentation Designer with motion and brand design chops for a 6-month contract based in Chicago (hybrid). This is a visual storytelling role on an in-house brand design team, working on the presentations the company puts in front of its biggest audiences — executive keynotes built for conference stages, and sponsorship environments at events like Sundance where the work runs on large-format screens, often on a loop, with no presenter and no narration to lean on. The design language is photography- and design-driven rather than illustrative, so you’ll build from a strong brand system and a deep photo library, letting typography, pacing, and composition do the work. If you’ve ever sat in an audience and thought about how a deck earns attention from the back row, this is that job. You Will: Design executive-level presentations for conference and keynote stages, from narrative structure through final build Design sponsorship and event presentations for large-format screens, including looping content built to hold attention without a presenter Bring motion into the work — transitions, builds, kinetic typography, and looping sequences that feel native to the brand rather than applied on top Translate raw content (decks, talking points, data) into clear visual narratives Work within and extend an established brand system across layout, type, color, and photography Art direct photography selection, cropping, and treatment to carry the visual load Partner with brand design, marketing, and event teams on timelines and deliverables Prepare files to spec for a range of stage and screen formats and resolutions Maintain templates and reusable components so the team’s presentation work stays consistent You Have: 5–8 years designing presentations in-house or at an agency, with a portfolio of executive- or stage-level work Advanced command of Keynote and PowerPoint — real craft in them, not just familiarity (confirm with client) Motion design capability: After Effects, or equivalent (confirm required tools and depth) Brand design fluency — you can work inside a system and know when to stretch it A photography- and typography-led visual sensibility; this is not an illustration role Experience designing for large-format and looping screen environments, or clear transferable work Adobe Creative Suite and Figma (confirm with client) Ability to move fast on executive timelines without dropping craft Logistics: Projected Start Date: ASAP Duration: 6 months Hours/Week: Full-time (40) Onsite/offsite: Hybrid in Chicago Rate: $45-60/hour DOE To be considered, please email your internal contact or View email address on creativetechgigs.com with your resume and why you're a fit.
