The Diocese of Leeds
The Diocese of Leeds represents the Church of England across the whole of West Yorkshire, the western part of North Yorkshire, and small parts of South Yorkshire, Lancashire, and County Durham. This is one of the largest dioceses in England, covering an area of around 2,425 square miles and housing a population of around 2.6 million.
The Diocese has an exciting vision of ‘Confident Christians, Growing Churches, Transforming Communities’, which is the focus of our work as we move forwards. In delivering the diocesan vision, we are focusing on Encouraging Confidence as a simple way of defining our purpose.
The Role
The Diocese is seeking to appoint an IT Project Manager as it embarks on the selection and implementation of two key systems – a new Customer Relationship Management (‘CRM’) tool and a replacement Property Management System. These projects are critical to the delivery of the Leeds Diocesan Board of Finance strategy of Encouraging Confidence, with effective systems and processes central to everything we do.
You will be working alongside the Head of IT and closely with the Strategic Portfolio Manager and Head of Property to deliver these two projects.

* Ensuring good project closure takes place to enable the organisation to manage the software within business as usual processes.
* To oversee project governance, including milestone tracking, risk management, stakeholder communication, budget management and Board reporting.
* To identify issues at an early stage and manage through to resolution.
The organisation is team orientated in our approach but enable team members to operate with a high level of autonomy. The successful candidates will enjoy freedom to get on with their role and work on their own initiative.
You need:
* Experience of the selection and implementation of SaaS / cloud systems
* Experience of working with third party providers
* Project management certifications such as AGILE or PRINCE2; Experience of using Business Analysis techniques (desirable)
