At Oji Fibre Solutions, our Supply Chain and Procurement team plays a vital role in driving sustainable and cost-effective procurement strategies that strengthen the performance of our Forest Resources manufacturing operations.

About the role

We’re looking for a proactive and detail-oriented Category Coordinator to support the effective management of supplier relationships, performance, and compliance. This key role works closely with our Senior Category Managers and stakeholders to monitor supplier performance, track key performance, and ensure alignment with business needs.

About you:

You’ll bring experience in procurement or supplier management. You will have strong communication and analytical skills, a keen eye for detail, and a collaborative mindset. Be confident working with data and systems to inform decisions and drive improvement.  Experience with contract compliance, key performance tracking, or supplier onboarding is a plus – but most importantly, you're a team player who brings a positive, proactive approach to everything you do.
