Job Description

Job Title: Print Production Specialist / Graphic Artist (12-Month Contract)

Location: Whippany, NJ (Hybrid)

Employment Type: Contract (12 Months)

We are looking for a detail-obsessed Print Production Specialist / Graphic Artist to join our team on a 12-month hybrid contract in Whippany, NJ. In this role, you will be the technical backbone behind our global consumer health packaging—covering OTC medicines, supplements, and personal care products.

If you thrive in fast-paced, highly regulated environments where precision, compliance, and technical mastery take center stage over open-ended creative ideation, this is the role for you. You will partner closely with Graphics Management, Regulatory, and Marketing to ensure every carton, label, and leaflet hits the press accurately, on-brand, and compliant with FDA/FTC standards. What You Bring to the Table

• Experience: 2–4 years of hands-on graphic production experience with exposure to CPG, pharmaceutical, or consumer health packaging.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communications, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).

• Software Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and InDesign, along with solid image retouching and manipulation skills.

• Technical & Print Know-How: Deep understanding of printing processes (flexography, lithography, digital), ink limitations, and color management.

• Micro-Typography Skills: Proven ability to set dense legal copy and micro-typography cleanly within tight structural footprints.

• Mindset: Hyper-attention to detail and a process-oriented approach. You understand that in consumer health, zero-defect accuracy is everything.

This is an opportunity to make a tangible impact on household consumer health brands that millions of people rely on every day. You’ll work alongside a collaborative, cross-functional team in a flexible hybrid setup out of Whippany, NJ, bringing high-visibility packaging from concept to shelf.
