Job Description The Canon for Administration maintains a dual role on the diocesan staff: providing consistent leadership over varying areas of internal office and staff function as well as supporting the broader diocese with administrative resources for their own context. Areas of oversight include communications, human resources, evangelism, and property with support provided to finance. The Canon serves on the senior leadership team, collaborating with the Bishop and the Canon to the Ordinary in leading both the diocese and the diocesan staff. The Canon provides support and oversight to their direct reports and is the staff liaison to the Stewardship Commission and one of the staff liaisons to the Evangelism Commission. In addition to these relationships, this position shares an important role in communicating their primary work and that of the diocesan staff to the broader diocesan community. The Canon may be asked to represent the Bishop in additional ways, including engaging in the broader Episcopal Church structure, potentially serving on church-wide committees or boards. The position is flexible as to in-person work and remote work, with the understanding that close coordination with the Missioner for Finance is required either way. The role will occasionally require availability for evening meetings, weekend events, and travel. Comp time is provided.
