Senior Presentation Designer

At Duarte, we've shaped how the world's most influential leaders and brands communicate since 1988.

Empathy sits at the core of everything we create: the ability to know yourself, understand others, and adapt. It runs through every deliverable we craft. We hold a high bar, and we drive our industry rather than follow it.

As a Senior Presentation Designer, you bring stories to life through exceptional visual communication.

You contribute throughout the creative process, collaborate across disciplines, and help elevate the work of those around you. You engage directly with clients to understand their goals, present design rationale, and translate ideas into compelling presentation experiences. With expertise in presentation platforms, animation, and storytelling, you create creative solutions that delight clients and advance the craft. You stay curious about new ways of working and continuously explore tools and technologies that can enhance creativity, collaboration, and client outcomes.

Our people live four behaviors, the ROAD:

• Rally self and others – contribute positively to teams, share expertise, and help others succeed
• Own the outcome – take responsibility for quality, follow through on commitments, and deliver reliable results
• Astonish with value – create thoughtful, high-impact work that exceeds expectations
• Drive the industry – stay curious, embrace new tools and techniques, and continually improve the craft
