Graphic Design, Mac Operator, Photoshop jobs

Why this role matters

Every pack of medicine carries information a patient relies on. Dosage, warnings, ingredients – if it's on the carton or label, it has to be exactly right. As our Artwork Coordinator, you'll make sure it is.

This opportunity has opened up because a member of our Artwork team has been promoted – exactly the kind of growth we love to see. Now we're looking for the next person to step in and make the role their own.

You'll join our small, close-knit Artwork team within Supply Chain, coordinating new and changed printed packaging artwork from first request through to final approval, for Douglas packing sites and our printed packaging suppliers. You'll be the connection point between Regulatory Affairs, Production, Planning, Finance, customers and suppliers, keeping a lot of moving parts aligned so production stays on schedule.

Please note, this is not a graphic design role. It's for someone who loves organisation, gets real satisfaction from getting the details right, and enjoys bringing people together to get things over the line. Once you're fully trained, you'll work automatously, and you'll have every opportunity to spot smarter ways of working and help shape how the team operates.

What you'll do

• Coordinate the end-to-end artwork generation and approval process – collating costs, gaining customer approval, working with suppliers and customers.
• Raise and action change controls for packaging artwork changes, ensuring every change is documented, reviewed and approved before implementation.
• Write and maintain packaging specifications.
• Communicate printed packaging changes clearly and in good time, so planned production runs without disruption.
• Work within SAP to create and maintain SAP master data for printed packaging, including material masters, purchase orders and BOM updates, and manage the discontinuation and destruction of obsolete packaging.
• Support the sourcing of new printed packaging materials and contribute to team improvement projects.
• Keep SOPs, tracking spreadsheets and electronic artwork files accurate and current.
• Bring forward ideas that improve efficiency, accuracy and compliance with regulatory and brand standards.
• Work in line with cGMP and support internal and external audits.

What you'll bring

• A sharp eye for detail and a genuine commitment to quality.
• Strong organisation and time management – you can juggle competing priorities and still meet deadlines.
• Clear, confident written and verbal communication with people at all levels.
• Competence across Microsoft Office.
• A collaborative, solutions-focused approach.
• Growth-minded and results-driven
• NCEA Level 2 or above.

Advantageous, but not essential

• 1-2 years' experience in a pharmaceutical or FMCG manufacturing environment, ideally in Quality, Regulatory or Production.
• Experience with an ERP system such as SAP.
• Knowledge of Adobe InDesign, graphic design or the print industry.

Don't tick every box? If this role sounds like you, we'd still love to hear from you.
