The Episcopal Diocese of New York (EDNY/the Diocese) seeks a collaborative and strategic leader to serve as its next Chief of Finance and Operations (CF&O). A servant leader, the Chief of Finance and Operations is one of two lead staff-level positions within the Diocese and reports directly to the newly installed Bishop, Matthew F. Heyd. The CF&O serves as the chief of staff to the Diocese and will be responsible for strategically leading, planning, organizing, and executing the Diocese’s widespread administrative functions.

The Episcopal Diocese of New York represents one of the longest-standing dioceses in the United States, having been founded in 1789. The Diocese covers 4,739 square miles in ten counties and three New York City boroughs. It includes 182 congregations with approximately 47,251 members from widely diverse racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. The clergy include 65 deacons, 482 canonically resident priests, and three bishops.

The next Chief of Finance and Operations will be a vital partner to the Bishop of New York and will be a thought leader for administrative functions across the EDNY, providing high-level leadership and modeling excellence, equity, proactivity, creativity, flexibility, and collegiality across all that they do. Involved in all central operations of the Diocese, the CF&O will be responsible for managing a $12 million budget as well as leading operational activities including Property Services, Human Resources, Legal/Risk Management, IT, and Office Services. They will demonstrate an ability to lead high-functioning, diverse teams with trust and transparency while simultaneously working collaboratively with key groups of trustees, clergy members, and parishioners to further EDNY's strategic priorities. The ideal candidate will bring financial, administrative, and technological acumen paired with an understanding of – and appreciation for – the Episcopal Church’s teaching and missions.
