THE SALISBURY DIOCESAN BOARD OF FINANCE
Wilton, Wiltshire
This is an exciting new opportunity to shape the future of technology and digital capability across five South West charities. We are seeking an exceptional Regional Chief Technology Officer who is motivated by both challenge and purpose - someone who can harness technology to make a tangible difference to how our faith-based charities support church communities. Working across Bath & Wells, Bristol, Exeter, Salisbury and Truro, this role offers a rare platform to influence at scale. The successful candidate will lead a region-wide programme of digital transformation and process optimisation, helping modernise systems, strengthen cyber resilience and unlock efficiencies that release resources for mission and ministry. This is not technology for its own sake. We are looking for someone who combines strategic insight with practical delivery - a leader who can translate complex technical possibilities into real-world improvements for staff, clergy and volunteers. You will play a key role in shaping the responsible adoption of emerging technologies, including AI, while ensuring strong governance, security and compliance. This role will be on a two-year contract. Please note that whilst this role allows homeworking, travel across all five dioceses will be required. Responsibilities Strategic Leadership: Develop, articulate, and implement a shared digital transformation and technology strategy that is directly aligned with the overarching mission and strategic goals of the five dioceses. Act as the principal technology advisor to the Diocesan Secretaries and their senior leadership teams. Process Mapping & Optimisation: Lead a comprehensive, collaborative review of key administrative and operational processes within the Diocesan Boards of Finance (DBFs) and in parishes where appropriate. Use process mapping techniques to identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and areas for improvement, and then design and implement optimised workflows. AI & Responsible Innovation: Actively research, evaluate, pilot, and implement appropriate AI and automation tools to enhance efficiency, support fundraising, and improve service delivery. Ensure all innovation is undertaken responsibly, ethically, and with a clear focus on tangible benefits. Stakeholder Management & Engagement: Build and maintain strong, collaborative relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders across all five dioceses, including clergy, staff, and volunteers. Foster a culture of digital literacy and champion the benefits of change in a clear, accessible, and empathetic manner. Project & Change Management: Oversee the full lifecycle of technology and process improvement projects, from initial conception and business case development through to delivery, user training, and final handover. Employ robust project management methodologies to ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget. Qualifications, Training & Experience: Proven and extensive senior technology leadership experience (e.g., CTO, Head of IT, Director of Digital Transformation) with clear evidence of strategic impact. Relevant degree (or equivalent) in a technology-related discipline, with appropriate professional certifications in technology, architecture, project or change management, and membership of a relevant professional body. Strong track record in business process mapping, analysis and re-engineering delivering measurable efficiency gains. Practical experience evaluating, procuring and implementing modern technology solutions, including cloud platforms (e.g., Microsoft 365), CRM systems and data analytics tools. Experience in the charity, non-profit or similarly complex, values-driven sector is highly desirable. Demonstrable experience of, or well-informed and practical interest in, the responsible and ethical application of AI and automation in an organisational context. Significant experience in technology strategy, budget management, vendor negotiation and delivery of complex, multi-stakeholder programmes. Competencies & Behavioural requirements: Exceptional communicator and translator: Able to convey complex technical concepts in clear, accessible language and influence a wide range of non-technical stakeholders with confidence. Strategic yet pragmatic thinker: Sees the big picture and aligns technology with organisational priorities, while remaining hands-on and focused on practical, value adding solutions. Collaborative and emotionally intelligent leader: Builds trust and consensus across diverse stakeholders and cultures, leading change with empathy, credibility and sensitivity. Resilient and delivery-focused: Proactive and self-motivated, with the drive and discipline to deliver complex, multi-year programmes and achieve measurable outcomes. Culturally astute and values-aware: Demonstrates understanding of, and respect for, the Church of England's context, governance and ethos, navigating the environment with diplomacy and good judgement.
