About The Role

Greenmill is a growing HVAC wholesale business specialising in air conditioning, ventilation and associated products. As we scale, we’re looking for a Head of Procurement to take the function to the next level — improving visibility, strengthening supplier strategy, and helping the business operate more efficiently as it grows. While the role requires regular on-site presence across Colchester and Bedford, we offer flexibility where possible.

Own and deliver a procurement strategy that improves stock availability, margin, and supplier performance
Improve procurement processes, systems, and data to increase visibility and reduce manual activity

Take ownership of inventory performance, balancing availability, lead times, and working capital
Expand drop ship and supplier-led fulfilment models
Work closely with operations and sales to align supply with demand
Manage the sourcing of technical products across key categories (components, wholesale) and collaborate with operations / sales to ensure optimal stock levels and availability

What You’ll Bring

Experience leading procurement or supply chain in wholesale, distribution, or technical product environments (HVAC ideal)
Track record of developing high performing departments and teams
Strong background in supplier negotiation and global sourcing
Experience improving procurement processes, systems, or automation
Confident using ERP systems and data to support decisions
Experience managing stock, product ranges, and inventory performance including demand planning
Understanding of imports, lead times, and international supply chains (EU/Asia)
Commercial mindset with a practical, hands-on approach

Why You'll Love Working At Greenmill:

We’re friendly, hard‑working, and passionate about what we do. We celebrate success, support each other, and create an environment where people can grow.

We believe great work deserves great rewards. You'll enjoy:

25 days holiday + Bank Holidays! (rising with service to a maximum of 28 days)
