Max joined the club in the summer of 2016 when his predecessor Paul Stringer joined the Premier League. He was previously the head of media and communications at AFC Bournemouth and is a lifelong Cherries fan.
Coincidentally Bournemouth was his first game in his role as head of media for West Ham and it will also be his last game this Saturday when he departs.
Max became a recognisable figure at press conferences with Slaven Bilic and David Moyes.
New recruit Ben Campbell will take over the reigns for the remainder of the season while the club advertises the role for a new head of media. Ben joined from Milton Keynes Dons where he was their Head of media relations.
Claret and Hugh wish Max the very best in his new job.
