The job nobody wants; the Deputy Administrator is also stepping down, reuniting us once again with a void atop the Agency. Whitaker was actually there for a little over a year. Too bad cause he was very safety-oriented and I think he may have gotten after the ATC shortage in a real way. Maybe he didn't feel like dealing with the new Trump/Musk industrial complex seeing as FAA oversees all SpaceX launches.
