Is this even a real role?
Surely this means 'Designer who is happy to build bullshit decks'?

graphic design operator for the marketing department because they don't know powerpoint and excel

I think you can get pretty sophisticated with this. Think support material for a script that might ultimately be consumed as a video. Something like Apple does with their keynotes. Animations, illustrations, infographics, video. Plus a style and theme that carries across multiple pages or sections.
Presentations might be the new annual report.

Yeah. Very valuable too. Highly priced.
A good deck could really make a difference for a startup's Series A to B or even next level
Won pitches building high quality decks even when ideas were meh
Medium is also full of articles like this https://medium.com/snapout/perfe…
p.s. Apple's keynotes are just the tip of the iceberg for this niche...

Question, if I want to build and send a deck to a prospective client to view on mobile what are my best options?
Something that the can just swipe through and include nice animations and transitions etc
Keynote? Xd? Something else?

This is the role to avoid more than any you qualify for as any kind of designer. In most cases you'll be in PowerPoint hell, which is redundant. Presentations put people in their worst behavior. Absurd deadlines, completely disposable work in many cases. Salesmen becoming your creative directors, asking you format their vomit. Then, after you give it to them, they re-vomit all over it, get lost and send it back to you for more formatting.
