The UK's top civil servant Sir Mark Sedwill has confirmed he plans to stand down from the role in September.
In a letter to Boris Johnson, he said it was the right time to go as the government moved to the next phase of its coronavirus recovery plan.
His other role as national security adviser will be taken by Mr Johnson's chief Brexit adviser David Frost.
His exit follows reports of tensions between him and senior members of Boris Johnson's team.
Dominic Cummings, regarded as the Prime Minister's most influential political adviser, has long called for an overhaul of the civil service.
And in a speech on Saturday, Michael Gove, attacked what he called "group think" within its ranks.
