Overview
AfterQuery, a YC-backed startup, needs presentation experts to build the training material that teaches AI models how slides actually work. You will craft design challenges and case studies covering slide layouts, visual hierarchy, color theory, typography, charts, animation timing and templates, then judge how well a model answers them. A team of design and technical specialists works alongside you to calibrate difficulty so each question stays demanding without becoming unfair. The arrangement is remote and asynchronous, so you set your own hours around a $50/hr rate.
What You'll Do6
- Write presentation design questions and case studies that push AI models on layout decisions, visual hierarchy, color choice, typography, chart construction and animation timing.
- Review model output against established presentation design practice and visual communication standards, then document where the response falls short.
- Give detailed written feedback on each evaluation so the reasoning behind a score stays clear to the rest of the team.
- Work with design and technical experts to adjust question difficulty and keep the material both challenging and instructive.
- Build template-based scenarios that test whether a model can apply brand and layout conventions in realistic slide contexts.
- Test how models handle data visualization and infographic tasks, including chart selection and the story a slide sequence tells.
Requirements7
- A track record of producing professional PowerPoint decks, backed by solid grasp of visual design principles and clear communication.
- Deep command of Microsoft PowerPoint, including advanced features, animation controls and design tools.
- Strong analytical and written skills, plus close attention to detail when judging someone else's slide work.
- Several years of presentation design experience, ideally spanning corporate, sales, marketing and executive briefing formats.
- Background in design training, brand guideline work or presentation technology projects is welcome.
- Familiarity with data visualization, infographics and slide-driven storytelling helps.
- Exposure to Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, Keynote or Google Slides is a plus.
Who Should Apply
Presentation designers with years of PowerPoint work behind them who can explain why a layout succeeds, not just make one. If you have built decks across sales, marketing or executive briefings and can write that critique down clearly, this role fits.
Salary Insight
$50.00/hr is the stated rate for this remote engagement. That sits in the upper range for presentation design contract work and generally matches a designer with several years of professional deck-building experience.
