Former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has found a new job in the private sector.
Haley, who served as ambassador to the United Nations under former President Donald Trump, will join global communications firm Edelman.
“Politics has become a key consideration for our clients in brand marketing, employee engagement and reputation management,” CEO Richard Edelman said in announcing the company's new hires.

“During her tenure as Governor, Ms. Haley had great success attracting foreign businesses to South Carolina and, as Ambassador to the United Nations, led important efforts on global issues,” he continued.
Edelman hopes Haley's long political career can provide perspective and guidance on the intersection of politics and business.
Haley dropped out of the 2024 Republican presidential race earlier this year after a series of state primaries won by Trump made his path to the White House all but impossible.

She has supported Trump since he was selected as the Republican nominee in July.
Haley told Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier on “Special Report” last month that Republicans and President Trump should focus on policies and messaging, rather than attacks on rally turnout, Vice President Kamala Harris' race and her intelligence.
“That's not how you win. The American people are smart. Treat them like smart people,” she said. “It's not about her. It's about the American people. Talk to them and let them know you need their vote.”

“In an increasingly complex time in business, policy and politics, brands need to anticipate what's next,” Haley said in the company's announcement about her new role at Edelman. “Whether managing a crisis or celebrating successes, industry leaders must be ready to communicate clearly and share their vision for the future. I'm thrilled to join the Edelman team and help clients navigate the challenges ahead.”
She is due to start work next month.
