National Anglican church network managing parishes, ministry, and community presence across the UK
The Church of England operates a distributed network of parishes and dioceses across the UK, underpinned by Microsoft enterprise stack (Teams, 365, SharePoint, Office) and SAP for financial management. Active hiring across operations, finance, and ministry roles—with notable growth in faith leadership and formation positions—signals a strategic push to strengthen parish relationships and develop long-term community engagement models. Pain points cluster around financial sustainability, building maintenance, and operational scaling, reflected in concurrent projects on parish giving schemes, financial reporting improvements, and missional capacity expansion.
Notable leadership hires: Growing Faith Lead, Head of Formation, Children and Youth Ministry Lead, Director of Operations, Deputy Director of Studies
