Voles was brought into Harris' office by Flournoy last summer, as the vice president faced a flurry of negative headlines and staff departures. She was Vice President Al Gore's communications director and an adviser to then-Sen. Hillary Clinton in 2008.
Harris, in a statement, praised the departing Flournoy, calling her a “valued advisor and confidant to me and tremendous leader for the office."
Harris' deputy chief of staff, Michael Fuchs, is also leaving the White House in the coming weeks. Harris' national security adviser, Nancy McEldowney, stepped down last month and her spokesperson, Symone Sanders, left the White House in December.
The staff reshuffling was first reported by the Washington Post.
