Hearts have confirmed managing director Campbell Ogilvie will leave the club at the end of June.
Ogilvie, who is also first vice-president of the Scottish Football Association, will be focusing on his role with the national governing body. He will also be leading the implementation of Henry McLeish`s report on the future of the game in Scotland.
Hearts director Sergejus Fedotovas said: "Campbell has been a great asset to the club and, while we will be sorry to see him leave Hearts, we fully understand his commitment and desire to improve the game in Scotland."
He added: "This desire was one of the main reasons we approached Campbell five years ago and his knowledge, integrity and understanding of the game have been highly beneficial to the club in that time.
"We have agreed an ongoing consultancy relationship with Campbell in order that we can still benefit from his wide-ranging football expertise at both domestic and European levels."
Ogilvie has worked with Hearts since November 2005 and he will be retained in a consultancy role through to May 2011.
Ogilvie said: "I am both delighted and very proud to have worked with Heart of Midlothian Football Club.
"It is a club that is an institution in Scotland and is recognised positively worldwide and I am grateful for the opportunity it has offered to me.
"I'd also like to thank the staff, supporters and sponsors for their support in my time at the club. I'd particularly like to thank everyone at the club who has made myself and my family so welcome since my very first day at Tynecastle.
"I am sure however that people will understand I have a new challenge ahead which is a task that requires 100% focus."
