• Interpret technical inputs such as formulation details, storage conditions, lot/expiry requirements, and product configurations
• Ask the right technical questions to ensure label content aligns with the actual assay design
• Content Integration & Accuracy
• Incorporate required label elements such as:
• Product name and description
• Intended use summary
• Storage and handling conditions
• Lot number, expiration date, and symbols
• Warnings and limitations
• Ensure consistency of information across all labeling components
• Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Work closely with Regulatory Affairs to incorporate regulatory-required content and feedback
• Partner with R&D, Quality, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain to gather label inputs and manage revisions
• Support change control activities related to labeling updates
• Documentation & File Management
• Maintain organized, version-controlled label files and artwork
• Support design change implementation and label lifecycle management
• Prepare label drafts and revisions for review and approval

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or certificate in Graphic Design, Life Sciences, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience
• Experience designing technical or scientific labels, preferably in IVD, medical devices, or regulated products
• Strong ability to understand and interpret assay or reagent-based products
• Proficiency with design software (e.g., Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, or similar tools)
• High attention to detail and accuracy

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with IVD or diagnostics labeling
• Familiarity with label symbols and conventions used in diagnostics or medical products
• Experience working in a cross-functional, regulated environment
• Regulatory Experience
• Deep regulatory expertise is not required
• Ability to collaborate effectively with Regulatory Affairs professionals and incorporate regulatory feedback is essential

Key Skills & Competencies

• Strong technical comprehension
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills
• Detail-oriented mindset
• Ability to balance design quality with technical accuracy
• Comfortable working with structured review and approval processes
