Charnley had been tipped to replace Dane Murphy as the club's chief executive.
Academy manager Gary Brazil is also leaving the club, which finished 16th last season.
Charnley was promoted to run Newcastle in 2014 by then-owner Mike Ashley following the departure of Derek Llambias the previous year.

"As it enters a new chapter in its history under new owners, I wish Amanda, the rest of the board and everyone connected with the club every success."
