From the Mindrift listing
Mindrift is looking for a highly skilled Presentation Designer to join the Tendem project ( ** https://tendem.ai/** ) and create high-quality presentations for real-world use cases. In this role, you'll apply your expertise in visual communication, information design, and storytelling to create clear, engaging, and professionally designed presentations. This part-time remote opportunity is ideal for creative professionals with hands-on experience in visual communications, information design, and storytelling. What We Do The Mindrift platform connects specialists with innovative technology projects. Our mission is to help develop high-quality AI technologies by combining real-world expertise from professionals across the globe with advanced AI development efforts. About the Role This is a freelance role for a Tendem project. As a Presentation Designer, you will focus on storytelling and visual hierarchy. We need a specialist who knows how to communicate complex information beautifully, turning raw data and narratives into compelling, highly persuasive slides and one-pagers. You will use tools such as PowerPoint, Keynote, Adobe Creative Suite, and Figma to create polished, presentation-ready deliverables. Key Responsibilities Design high-stakes pitch decks and professional one-pagers tailored for specific audiences. Translate complex data into clear visual storytelling with a strong focus on minimalism and precise information hierarchy.

Academic and/or Professional Experience Candidates must have a strong portfolio featuring high-end presentations, pitch decks, and data visualization (not just basic templates). We are looking for specialists who have a deep understanding of pacing, storytelling, and information design. A methodical, detail-oriented approach and the ability to work independently to transform complex narratives into premium visuals are essential. Technical Skills (Essential) Presentation software: Expertise in PowerPoint, Keynote, etc., for building complex, dynamic, and perfectly animated decks.

Additional requirements Hands-on experience creating high-end, premium corporate-meets-creative style layouts. Strong attention to detail and absolute commitment to visual perfectness. Self-directed work ethic with the ability to troubleshoot design challenges independently. English proficiency: Upper-intermediate (B2) or above (required) Your CV must include a link to your portfolio featuring high-end presentations, pitch decks, and data visualization. Applications without a portfolio link, or without relevant presentation cases, will not be considered. Project time expectations For this project, tasks are estimated to require around 10–20 hours per week during active phases, based on project requirements.

Interview Prep
Sample questions for a Presentation Designer role, written in-house to help you prepare.
How do you decide how to structure a deck's narrative when the person requesting it hands you a disorganized pile of content?
I identify the single core message the deck needs to land first, then work backward to decide which content supports that message and which is noise that should be cut or moved to an appendix. Trying to fit every piece of provided content into the main flow usually buries the actual point.
What's your process for choosing the right chart type to make a specific data point clear, rather than just visually appealing?
I start from the specific comparison or relationship the slide needs to communicate, like a trend over time versus a part-to-whole breakdown, and pick the chart type built for that, rather than choosing whatever looks most polished. A visually striking chart that obscures the actual comparison has failed at its job.
How do you keep a large deck visually consistent with a brand's design system while still solving each slide's specific problem?
I default to the system's existing components and only deviate when a slide has a genuine need the system doesn't cover, and when I do deviate, I try to keep it visually compatible rather than introducing a completely different style. Inconsistency reads as unpolished even when each individual slide looks fine.
How do you simplify a dense, jargon-heavy slide without losing the substance it needs to convey?
I separate the core claim from the supporting detail and lead with the claim in plain language, moving the detail into a smaller supporting visual or note rather than cutting it entirely. Simplifying isn't the same as removing substance, it's making the hierarchy of what matters most clear.

Common questions
Why does Mindrift pay less than other AI training platforms?
General evaluation tasks pay $15-30/hr because they're high-volume, lower-complexity work like basic fact-checking and tone evaluation that doesn't require an advanced degree. Verified domain experts see rates scale up to $40-100+/hr on specialized projects, so the path is to start generalist and build toward a specialist track.
What does a typical Mindrift task involve?
Read a scenario, write a short prompt for the AI (around 100 words), evaluate two AI responses to it, fact-check the outputs, then write a brief explanation (around 50 words) on which response is better against the project rubric. The focus is clarity, safety, and rule-following, not creative writing.
Do task-based AI training roles require an interview?
Most skip a live interview entirely and gate access through an automated assessment or qualification task instead. Where we've confirmed the specific requirement for this listing, it's called out above in What We Know About This Role.
What does task-based AI training work look like?
Practical, hands-on data work: recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. Tasks are designed to be short and distinct, typically 5 to 60 minutes each.
What does Generalist work look like for a Freelance Presentation Designer?
Tasks here are scoped to Generalist, not generic labeling. As a Freelance Presentation Designer, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Generalist) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Generalist background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
Coding, English, and Polish are named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with these, expect the screening process to test for them directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.
How much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $50/hr, an hourly rate. Pay can change between when we last checked the listing and when you apply, so confirm the current number on the platform's own application page before committing time.
Do I need to be fluent in English or Polish?
Yes. This role specifically requires English or Polish proficiency, on top of the English most AI training work assumes by default. If English is not a language you're fluent in, this is not the right role. Filter for your native language to find better-matched listings.
Can I apply from outside Sweden, Denmark, Finland and 2 other countries?
This specific role is open only to people based in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Austria. If you are somewhere else, applying is unlikely to lead to an offer even if you pass the assessment, because the restriction is usually about where the work can legally be contracted rather than your skills. Read the full description for any tax-residency or right-to-work caveats before you apply, since they can differ by country.
