Job description

Umendra Life Sciences manufactures OTC topical and personal-care products creams, gels, lotions, ointments for the US and international markets. Packaging artwork is a controlled, compliance-critical deliverable that goes out on regulated products.

We're looking for a designer who treats it that way.

What you'll own

Develop and control packaging artwork across the full range cartons, labels, tubes, bottles, jars, sachets, pouches, inserts, leaflets and shippers - from approved regulatory text and customer specs through to print-ready production files.

Place product names, actives, strengths, directions, warnings, batch details, barcodes and statutory information exactly where regulation and specification require.

Build print-ready files with correct dielines, bleed, margins, colour separations and resolution.

Work directly with Regulatory Affairs, QA, Packaging Development, Production and customer-facing teams, folding their comments in accurately through every revision.

Keep artwork under control - versions, revision history, approval records, master files - so only the current, approved version ever reaches print.

Drive artwork changes triggered by regulatory updates, change controls, product launches or customer requirements.

Review printer proofs, shade cards, digital proofs and packaging samples before commercial sign-off.

Coordinate with packaging-material vendors and printers on proofs, colour matching and print-quality issues.

Who fits

3-7 years in pharmaceutical packaging artwork - in a pharma manufacturer, a packaging agency serving pharma, or a regulated healthcare setup. This is non-negotiable, and you'll be asked to show a portfolio of regulated packaging work: labels, cartons, tubes, inserts.

Fluent in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat Pro and CorelDRAW, and comfortable with vector files, dielines, colour systems, barcodes and print-ready PDFs.

You can read regulatory text and reproduce it exactly

Exposure to US OTC / Drug Facts, WHO-GMP, Schedule M, EU or other export-market requirements, and to change-control and document-control practice, is a strong plus.

Detail-oriented, systematic across many SKUs and pack sizes at once, and steady under deadline pressure.

What this role is not

Not a brand, marketing or creative-campaign design role - the work is bounded by regulation and specification.

Not remote and not Ahmedabad-city; it's on-site at our Bavla plant.

Not for someone new to pharma. Without regulated packaging-artwork experience, this won't be the right fit.Role & responsibilities
