National Security Advisor comes to mind.

In House of Card, the Solicitor General runs for President. WH Taft was also formerly SG before ultimately rising to office (though he was also war secretary too). Chester Arthur was head collector for the NY port when he was put on the ticket as Veep.

Former Collector (as he was fired by Hayes).

What about a prominent (former) White House Chief of Staff?

Alexander Haig.

Has there ever been a candidate that was head of the FBI?

The closest thing to this was former (acting) Director L. Patrick Gray briefly rumoured as a potential candidate in 1976, although this wasn't much serious.
