Presentation Designer- 6 month FTC

The Presentation Designer plays a key role in supporting partners, directors and teams across KPMG New Zealand to bring their ideas to life through high‑quality, on‑brand PowerPoint deliverables. This is a specialist role focused exclusively on PowerPoint design, combining strong execution skills with sound judgement, New Zealand cultural awareness, and the confidence to contribute ideas that enhance clarity and impact.

Sitting within the Brand team, the role works closely with stakeholders to translate business content into clear, well‑structured and visually engaging deliverables for business development, client delivery, internal communications and leadership forums.

Design and deliver high quality PowerPoint materials, including client proposals, reports, presentations, templates, charts and diagrams, in line with agreed briefs and timelines.

Apply New Zealand cultural competency, ensuring designs are appropriate for local audiences and aligned to KPMG New Zealand’s context, values and business norms.

Work with stakeholders across the firm, including partners, directors and senior leaders, professionally clarifying briefs and responding to feedback.

Ensure all PowerPoint outputs consistently apply KPMG brand, and, where required, client brand elements and guidelines.

Manage multiple pieces of work concurrently, maintaining quality, accuracy and attention to detail under time pressure.

Collaborate effectively with the wider Brand team and with external specialists where required.
