The Frontier Transformation Framework helps our customers become Frontier Firms: organizations where autonomous agents execute work continuously under human oversight. In that model, governance is the backbone, not the brake: it is the structure that lets teams move fast precisely because the rails are sound. Governance designed at deployment drifts out of date within months, and because a Frontier Firm coordinates autonomous agents rather than people, the trust-and-governance backbone must be heavier, not lighter. The Frontier Transformation team is how the Microsoft Frontier Company, the organization this role sits within, delivers this: a small, senior human-agent team in which each member carries one of the Framework's eight capabilities into the customer, directs a set of digital co-workers to deliver at a scale headcount alone could not.
We are seeking a Frontier Trust & Governance subject matter expert to establish the frameworks, policies, and control systems that let AI operate safely, ethically, and at enterprise scale. In this role, you will design and operationalize the agent governance framework across intake, runtime, and change; own the guardrails, the control plane, and the baseline-before-build readiness checks; and balance innovation velocity with responsible AI, regulatory compliance, and the customer's risk tolerance.
Le Frontier Transformation Framework aide nos clients à devenir des Frontier Firms, c’est-à-dire des organisations où des agents autonomes exécutent le travail en continu sous la supervision humaine. Dans ce modèle, la gouvernance est la colonne vertébrale de l’organisation, et non un frein : elle constitue la structure qui permet aux équipes d’avancer rapidement grâce à des mécanismes de contrôle solides et fiables. Une gouvernance conçue uniquement au moment du déploiement devient rapidement obsolète. De plus, parce qu’une Frontier Firm coordonne des agents autonomes plutôt que des personnes, les fondations de la confiance et de la gouvernance doivent être renforcées, et non allégées.
L’équipe Frontier Transformation, au sein de Microsoft Frontier Company, l’organisation à laquelle ce poste est rattaché, concrétise cette vision grâce à une équipe restreinte et expérimentée composée d’humains et d’agents. Chaque membre apporte l’une des huit capacités du Framework chez le client et orchestre un ensemble de collaborateurs numériques afin de fournir des résultats à une échelle qu’une équipe humaine seule ne pourrait atteindre.
Nous recherchons un(e) expert(e) Frontier Trust & Governance chargé(e) de définir les cadres de gouvernance, les politiques et les systèmes de contrôle permettant à l’intelligence artificielle d’opérer de façon sécurisée, éthique et à l’échelle de l’entreprise. Dans ce rôle, vous concevrez et mettrez en œuvre le cadre de gouvernance des agents tout au long de leur cycle de vie, de l’intégration à l’exploitation en passant par la gestion des changements. Vous serez responsable des garde-fous, du plan de contrôle et des évaluations de préparation préalables au développement, tout en trouvant le juste équilibre entre la rapidité de l’innovation, l’IA responsable, la conformité réglementaire et la tolérance au risque du client.
Vous accompagnerez les clients dans la mise en place des capacités de gouvernance, de sécurité, de gestion des identités, de protection des données et d’assurance nécessaires à l’exploitation sécurisée de l’IA et des systèmes autonomes à l’échelle de l’entreprise.
Ce poste s’adresse à des professionnels capables d’appréhender à la fois les dimensions stratégiques de la gouvernance et les mécanismes techniques de contrôle, de traduire les nouvelles réglementations liées à l’IA en garde-fous opérationnels et efficaces, et qui sont motivés par l’idée de rendre l’autonomie plus sûre plutôt que plus lente.
Vous travaillerez directement avec les responsables des risques, de la conformité, des affaires juridiques, de la sécurité et des activités métier du client, en collaboration avec des Architectes d’Affaires, des Ingénieurs et des responsables de la création de valeur. Vous veillerez également au transfert de connaissances et de compétences vers les équipes de gestion des risques et de conformité du client afin qu’elles puissent assurer de manière autonome la gouvernance une fois votre mission terminée.
You will help customers establish the governance, security, identity, data protection, and assurance capabilities required to operate AI and autonomous systems safely at enterprise scale.
This is a role for people who can hold both the policy and the technical control plane in their heads, who can translate emerging AI regulation into working guardrails, and who are energized by making autonomy safe rather than slow. You will work directly with the customer's risk, compliance, legal, security, and business leaders alongside Business Architects, Engineers, and Value leads, and you will transfer skills the customer's risk and compliance officers/owners so that governance is owned after your engagement ends. If you are excited by making frontier AI trustworthy and secure at scale, this role is for you.

Success in this role looks like
The customer has an adopted AI Governance Operating Model with clear ownership, accountability, decision rights, and executive oversight across AI, agents, data, and autonomous systems.
AI and agent solutions move from experimentation to production quickly and safely because governance, security, privacy, compliance, and Responsible AI controls are embedded by design rather than applied afterwards.
Customer data, identities, infrastructure, models, and agent ecosystems are protected through enterprise-scale governance, security, access management, threat protection, monitoring, and policy enforcement.
Microsoft Agent 365, Entra, Purview, and Defender provide an integrated control plane for governing, securing, monitoring, and assuring AI and autonomous systems at scale.
Autonomous systems operate within defined security, permissioning, accountability, escalation, and human-oversight boundaries, enabling safe adoption of agentic operating models.
Executives have clear visibility into AI risk, governance effectiveness, security posture, compliance status, and operational performance through measurable assurance and reporting mechanisms.
Governance and security capabilities are embedded into business operations and scale consistently across AI solutions, business functions, and regulatory environments.
