The former BBC journalist stood down as CEO of Freshwater, the agency he founded in 1997, when he took the Labour job, but retained a non-executive director role.
Howell, who lives in Cardiff, will continue to act as a non-executive at Freshwater, and will continue to advise Corbyn on a part-time basis.
Politics Home says that suggestions Howell and Milne had fallen out were denied by a party source, adding that it was always planned for the Welshman's appointment to be for a limited period.
He told PRWeek he also planned to spend more time writing.
