Public relations agency Grayling is looking for a new chief executive after Scots-born Michael Murphy announced plans to step down.
Mr Murphy will stay on as chairman in the company, which has its Scottish office in Edinburgh, and plans to build a portfolio of non-executive roles.
He said: "I feel that the time is right to develop other interests which play to my many decades of international experience."
