About the Role

Being a Presentation Designer at Chronicle is all about shaping the future of how people tell stories and share ideas.

You’ll be at the heart of designing the next set of Chronicle’s presentation templates and default content — from planning and moodboarding to the finest details of interaction and polish.

This is an opportunity to do career-defining work on a product that blends design, storytelling, and cutting-edge AI.

Templates are fundamental in Chronicle for people to create compelling and convincing pitches, proposals, team meetings and all types of decks. Templates bring the sexiness of the web to presentations: they are modern, design to pixel perfection and effortless to create and customise. This role will own and shape the direction for how our templates and defaults (backgrounds, images, themes) look and feel.

We’re looking for a designer obsessed with clarity, structure, and beauty — someone who can transform raw information into stories that are digestible. The ideal candidate has a deep understanding of how people interpret and consume visual information.

Core responsibilities of this role →

1. Lead the design of the next set of presentation templates — balancing beautiful visuals with compelling content,diagrams and information design.
2. Work on designing new default image sets for our core product
3. Partner closely with product design to turn ideas for new widgets into elegant, well-scoped solutions.

As one of the first design hires, you’ll not only shape our product but also set the foundation for Chronicle’s design culture.
