• Synonym前任ぜんにんNeutralShorter and more widely used than 「前任者」: covers both the person who previously held the post and the tenure itself, and also forms compounds like 「前任地」.
• Antonym後任者こうにんしゃNeutralThe direct antonym: the person who takes over the position, standing opposite the departing 「前任者」.
• Antonym後継者こうけいしゃNeutralAlso an antonym: a successor who inherits and carries on a business or undertaking, with the emphasis on succession. Opposite of 「前任者」.

Use 「前任者」 for the previous holder of a job or position, as in 「前任者から引き継ぐ」. The short form 「前任」 is broader. The opposite of a departing 「前任者」 is 「後任者」; a successor who carries on a business is 「後継者」.
