You will be collaborative, relational and service-oriented, someone who genuinely believes that finance exists to serve mission, not the other way around.

A committed and practising Christian, you will be in sympathy with CMS's values, its Ethos Statement, and its pioneering, servant-hearted approach to God's work in the world.
