• Ensure all presentations and supporting assets strictly adhere to brand guidelines, legal requirements, and relevant industry standards
• Collaborate closely with clients and your creative team, contributing fresh ideas and innovative approaches to presentation storytelling and visual communication
• Deliver a seamless, high-quality service that exceeds client briefs and ensures all presentations are compelling, on-brand, and audience-ready
• Build and maintain strong client relationships, acting as a trusted advisor for presentation best practices and helping to grow opportunities through excellent service delivery
• Perform detailed quality checks on all presentations and assets to maintain accuracy, consistency, and the highest design standards within brand guidelines
