Role: CEO, The Church Commissioners for England
About the Church Commissioners
The Church Commissioners for England is a statutory endowed charity managing over £10 billion of historic assets for the Church of England, and an administrative body with regulatory and quasi-judicial duties. It has representatives of Church and State on its governing body and is answerable to Parliament and the General Synod of the Church of England, as well as the Charity Commission. Financial returns are used to support the mission and ministry of the Church of England. In addition to managing the investment fund, the Church Commissioners supports the Church’s mission, ministry and heritage by providing funding, sound frameworks, and expert advice in support of England’s dioceses, parishes and cathedrals, its church buildings and Bishops’ ministry.
The Role
This truly unique and impactful role is an outstanding opportunity for a credible leader with the passion and experience to lead one of the largest distributors of charitable funds in the UK - a commercial role which will balance exceptional governance, risk management and ethical oversight.
The CEO is responsible for strategic leadership of the Church Commissioners and oversight of the work of its operational teams. The CEO supports the Church Estates Commissioners in strategic policy and prioritisation of effort and in outward-facing communication to the wider Church and beyond about how the Church Commissioners are delivering their support for the Church of England’s mission. The post holder will be accountable to the Commissioners’ Board and to Parliament for performance of - and innovation within - the various financial and other functions.
This appointment comes at a critical time for the Church Commissioners as it prepares to implement a number of changes in response to the national church governance review. The CEO will play a critical role in this transition and then in shaping and implementing a vision for the “new” Church Commissioners, which will have an increased focus on oversight of the Church’s historic endowment to deliver excellent, ethical investment returns, providing the maximum sustainable funding support to the Church of England.
Candidate Profile
The successful candidate will be a proven strategic and relational leader who will inspire, sustain and represent the Church Commissioners across public forums and within a complex network of internal and external senior stakeholders. The role calls for a practising Christian (any Christian denomination will be considered) with empathy for the Church’s mission.
If you can demonstrate a track record of senior leadership across complex organisational structures and across a range of internal and external stakeholders and bring the confidence, credibility and resilience to lead an organisation that sits at the intersection of Church, State and financial markets, we would love to hear from you. Please see the full job description and for further information on how to apply, please contact churchcommissioners@sapphirepartners.co.uk for more information or a confidential conversation before 7th February 2025.
