Designer - Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Umendra Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd. · India

We are hiring a graphic designer with experience in a pharmaceutical environment. If you've built pharma packaging artwork — cartons, tubes, labels, inserts — then this role is for you.

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.
