You’re the one they turn to when it gets beyond the slapping of text onto a slide template, aren’t you? You’re the one who can do things in PowerPoint that leave your colleagues saying, “It does that?” You’re the one who brings training and talent from the worlds of art and design, marries them up with real tech chops, and makes PowerPoint sing. Now, come do that lovely thing you do for this major medical facility, which needs some work-from-home, part-time project help. It promises to be enjoyable, creative work, and, as you know, it’s always good to have an in at a company of this stature.

Nitty Gritty

There’s some significant rebranding going on, and that means rebuilding a whole suite of PowerPoint templates to get them all up to speed and all in alignment. For each of them, you’ll draw on your considerable aesthetic and design skills to build out a new look, applying what you know about the unit to which it pertains, and fitting it with the design elements of the new brand. Obviously your layout and design will be sensitive to the needs and communication objectives of the unit you happen to be serving at the time.

Because you’ll be working in the unique world of the medical industry, you may need to do some custom trainings to fill in any knowledge gaps.

Hired Gun Profile
​

To begin with the obvious, you’ve got mastery-level PowerPoint skills, extending to the ability to pull in elements, features and functions from other applications, incorporate multimedia, integrate graphics and illustrations, and convert file formats. You boast significant experience developing impressive corporate materials using Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative Suite. Whatever the technical ask, you’re not easily stumped — and that accumulation of knowledge has been the result of your “will do” attitude which, in the increasingly rare cases in which you don’t already know the answers, drives you to find solutions quickly and efficiently. You pay very close attention to detail and possess the artist’s gift of being able to look at something, for the fiftieth time, with fresh eyes.

You’ve likely had some formal study of design principles, and you know how to apply corporate brand guidelines and adhere to an arrived-at style, voice and tone. You write and speak clearly. You work independently with fine discipline and no need for hand-holding, and you keep your projects carefully organized, hitting your deadlines reliably.
