Job of Telmessos (born Igor Wladimir Getcha, Russian: Игорь Владимирович Геча; January 31, 1974 in Montreal, Canada) is an Eastern Orthodox Archbishop of the Ecumenical Patriarchate who was elected to lead the Patriarchal Exarchate for Orthodox Parishes of Russian Tradition in Western Europe in November 2013. His election was heavily influenced by the Ecumenical Patriarch, Bartholomew I of Constantinople, at the request of the Metropolitan Emmanuel of France. As a consequence, the election of Archbishop Job was achieved after two unknown names were placed on the ballot at a late stage in the election process, inducing the electors to vote for Job Getcha.
