Hearts are looking for a new chief executive as Andrew McKinlay is leaving at the end of August after six years.
The move follows talks between the club’s board and McKinlay.
In the meantime, Hearts’ chairman, Calum Paterson, will work with the executive team to ensure that the club remains focused on delivering its priorities across all areas, on and off the pitch.
Paterson, said: “Andrew has served as CEO during a significant period in our history, which has seen considerable progress. On behalf of the board, and everyone at Hearts, I would like to thank Andrew for his contribution, commitment and service to the club. He leaves with our best wishes for the future.”
McKinlay commented: “It has been an honour to serve as CEO of Hearts. I am proud of all that we have achieved during my time at the club and grateful to have worked alongside so many dedicated colleagues, players, supporters and partners.”
Another man departing is Alexandros Kyziridis who has left Hearts to join Turkish side Çorum FK.
The 25-year-old winger makes a permanent move to the Super Lig outfit for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance and Scottish FA approval.
Greece-born Kyziridis joined Hearts in the summer of 2025 and made 45 appearances, scoring six goals. He won his first cap for the national team recently.
