Visual Communication Designer

Remote_ (IST) | India | Full-time

We have put a lot of thought into drafting this JD to help you assess if we’re a good fit for each other. We hope you take the time to read it before applying.

What is the native language of the business world? Presentations

Yet, most business presentations are downright boring and extremely confusing - the complete antithesis of effective communication that presentations supposedly help achieve.

Deck Rooster is changing that, one presentation at a time. We architect presentations that are not only visually appealing but also analytically sound & emotionally captivating.
- Since starting 9 years ago, our team of Consultants, Storytellers, and Visual Communication Designers, has worked with 200+ startups on their most important presentations like the fundraising deck and the sales deck.
- Our clients include household names like Khatabook, Cars24, Porter, Coinswitch, 1mg, Fi Money, Cleartrip, Slice etc.
- Over the years, we have emerged as founders’ #1 choice for crafting pitch decks with a clear and compelling narrative. You can check out our _work_ portfolio and client testimonials on our Website and Dribbble

**About The Role**:
You will play the key role of converting a complex business narrative into simple & crisp visuals that are understandable in the shortest time and recallable for the longest time.

✏️ What Your _Work_ Will Look Like:

- For each project, you will _work_ as part of a 3-person project team where you will be driving & executing the visualization & design.
- You will need to understand the business messages trying to be communicated in a deck and bring them out clearly by establishing a clear hierarchy of ideas & visualizing data, concepts & emotions.
- You will also _work_ on achieving an aesthetically consistent and pleasing look for the deck.
- Each project typically lasts a month, so you’ll constantly be working on something new.
