The editor of The Sun, Dominic Mohan, is leaving the paper after four years at the helm.
He has been replaced by David Dinsmore, who is currently director of operations at News International (NI), the UK newspaper publishing arm of News Corp.
A statement said Mr Mohan will advise the chief executive of the new News Corp, which is being formed after Rupert Murdoch decided to split its newspaper and entertainment operations.
He will be tasked with exploring opportunities for the company across Europe from a base in London, the statement added.
Mr Mohan, who joined the paper 17 years ago, said it had been a "real privilege" to have edited The Sun since 2009.
"I would like to thank my peerless staff for the creativity and spark they have brought to the paper day after day," he said.
"I am confident The Sun will go from strength to strength, and now look forward to a new challenge of helping a brand new company find its feet and build a strong future for its journalism across the globe."
David Dinsmore Mr Mohan oversaw the move to a seven-day operation for the paper with the launch of The Sun On Sunday in February 2012. It followed the closure of the News Of The World - another NI title - in the wake of the phone-hacking scandal.
During his time in charge, he has seen several Sun journalists arrested under Operation Elveden, Scotland Yard's investigation into alleged inappropriate payments to public officials.
The announcement of his departure came on the day two Sun journalists - Jamie Pyatt, 49, and John Edwards, 49 - were charged with buying information, including details about Broadmoor patients and the work of a member of the Royal family.
The alleged offences involved unknown public officials between 2002 and 2011, Scotland Yard said.
Mr Dinsmore, 44, from Glasgow, worked his first shift on The Sun at the age of 22 and became editor of the Scottish edition in 2006.
He said: "There is no better job in journalism than editing Britain's most popular paper."
News Corp holds a 39% stake in BSkyB, parent firm of Sky News.
