The Daily Telegraph reports that NRL Chairman John Grant will take over as interim CEO while the organisation looks for a replacement.
Much was made of Smith's appointment in 2013 when he replaced now-Football Federation Australia CEO David Gallop. Previously a senior banker, many questioned Smith's knowledge of the game having no background in rugby league.
It is believed a breakdown in TV-rights negotiations and his relationship with NRL clubs led to Smith's resignation this morning.
