Person who did the job before (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

predecessor

(Other definitions for predecessor that I've seen before include "Earlier job holder" , "Previous occupant of a post" , "One who went" , "Job holder before the present one" , "Forerunner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
