WHAT’S IN YOUR DAILY CONE:

• You deal with all flavors of designing and producing artworks, packaging material, labels in accordance with brand guidelines, and ensuring a unified look and feel across all visual assets.
• You’ve got room to coordinate the administrative aspects of production, including the preparation of final designs for presentation, checking and approving color, copy, and text format separations, and scaling images for print production.
• You smoothly take care of layout and scaling photos, marking them for proper screen values for print reproduction.
• You hit the sweet spot when providing conceptual advice and support for our specialist departments.
• You organise copy flow and maintain a database/bibliographic/archival retrieval system of the whole variety of references used in the creation of published materials.
• With your cool head, you may manage budget, including invoicing, tracking project expenditures, and assisting in budget development by summarising, researching, and analysing past project expenditures.
• If you have a taste for coordinating relationship with vendors as well as preparing specifications and obtaining estimates for final approval, this may fall within your area of responsibility, too.
• Your counter may include the handling of copyright, reprint, and permission processes.
• You take on technical communication (product labelling, operating instructions) without falling off the truck.
• Managing and implementing artwork projects isn’t just a limited edition for you, either.
• You don’t freeze when it comes to working closely with cross‑functional teams to select and propose packaging solutions, identify design problems, and devise solutions.
• You don’t get cold feet while collaborating with suppliers to explore new materials and technologies that align with innovation goals.

WHAT MEETS OUR TASTE:

• Several years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry or working with pharma customers are your key ingredient.
• A completed training / studies in the field of graphics, communication design, media design, or marketing build up your flavor.
• You can sprinkle in excellent knowledge of the Adobe Creative Cloud family and proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite.
• You’re coated with creativity and a sense of aesthetics (e.g. when designing graphic communication media, or when designing products with image processing programs).
• Strong skills in communication, conceptual thinking, typography, and design are your cherry on top.
• Ideally, you’ve also scooped up experience in digital photography and video production.
• You make our clients melt with your customer orientation and communication skills alike.
• Your written and spoken English skills need to be a top seller.
