The job description
micro1 is engaging Brand & Creative Strategy Experts to contribute to a client-facing project focused on executive-level presentation review and enhancement. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.
Scope of Work
- Receive images of client business slides and reconstruct them in Microsoft PowerPoint, elevating clarity and visual impact.
- Enhance slide structure, visual storytelling, data visualization, and messaging flow tailored for executive or client-facing contexts.
- Craft clear, concise content edits that improve message hierarchy, action titles, and overall narrative.
- Document all changes in a detailed log, explaining the rationale behind each decision and defending choices to leave elements as-is.
- Critically assess each slide, balancing design best practices with the intent and context of the original content.
- Deliver each reviewed and improved slide, along with the change log, within 1–2 hours per assignment.
Preferred Qualifications
- 5+ years' background at a recognized advertising agency, holding company, brand consultancy, or in-house brand/marketing team at a major brand or technology company.
- Proven hands-on experience creating client-facing or executive presentations: new business pitches, campaign reviews, or strategic brand decks.
- Advanced skills in Microsoft PowerPoint, slide reconstruction, and presentation design.
- Expertise in turning complex data into compelling, visually engaging slides.
- Strong written communication and content editing abilities, with a proven critical eye for detail.
- Comfort providing clear, defendable rationale for both changes made and decisions to maintain original content.
- Prior experience evaluating AI output or training models is a plus.
