ABOUT ROCKEFELLER CAPITAL MANAGEMENT:
Rockefeller Capital Management was established in 2018 as a leading independent financial advisory services firm. Originally founded in 1882 as the family office of John D. Rockefeller, the Firm has evolved to offer strategic advice to ultra- and high-net-worth individuals and families, institutions, and corporations from offices in 37 markets throughout the United States, as well as an office in London. The Firm oversees $236 billion in client assets as of September 30, 2026.
POSITION:
The primary purpose of this role is to enable the safe, deliberate, and accelerated adoption of AI across Rockefeller Capital Management. Partnering closely with Risk, Compliance, Cybersecurity (CISO), and AI Risk Governance teams, the individual translates governance requirements into scalable technical controls that govern the firm's AI ecosystem, including agents, copilots, skills, plugins, connectors, and the large language models that power them.
AI platforms evolve rapidly, with new models, capabilities, and features released on a near-weekly basis. This role is responsible for staying ahead of that pace by continuously evaluating emerging technologies from providers such as Microsoft, Anthropic, and other vendors. The individual will assess new capabilities through both a business value and risk lens, providing clear recommendations on whether they should be adopted, piloted, restricted, or deferred.
This is a highly hands-on technical role focused on operationalizing AI governance. Rather than creating policy, the individual interprets existing requirements and implements them directly through platform configuration, policy enforcement, APIs, automation, and administrative tooling across Microsoft and Anthropic environments. The goal is to ensure AI controls are embedded, measurable, and enforceable while supporting the firm's continued innovation and growth.
Responsibilities:
- Interpret and implement enterprise control requirements. Translate policies, standards, and risk decisions issued by Risk, Compliance, the CISO organization, and AI Risk Governance into concrete technical controls, review gates, and deployment standards for AI capabilities.
- Configure and script the controls. Implement guardrails directly across Microsoft and Anthropic services — tenant and admin center settings, Copilot and Copilot Studio policies, Azure AI Foundry configuration, Anthropic enterprise administration, Entra access policies, and Purview data protection controls.
- Automate governance at scale. Build scripts and automation (PowerShell, Graph API, Python, KQL) to inventory agents and skills, enforce policy, detect drift, monitor usage, and produce audit and compliance evidence.
- Own agents and skills end to end. Maintain the inventory, ownership model, and lifecycle — from intake and review through deployment, monitoring, recertification, and retirement.
- Run capability review assessments. Evaluate new AI features and use cases against firm-defined risk, security, and compliance criteria — covering business value, security exposure, data access and entitlement impact, supervisory obligations, operational readiness, and fit with enterprise architecture standards — and escalate to the appropriate governance body where a policy decision is required.
- Assess LLMs and model changes. Test and compare models across providers, track model and version updates, evaluate capability shifts and failure modes, and provide the technical evidence governance bodies need to decide where each model may be used.
- Stay ahead of AI evolution. Systematically track roadmaps, release notes, and previews across Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, Azure AI Foundry, Anthropic, and emerging platforms, and translate each change into a clear enable, pilot, restrict, or defer recommendation.
- Implement controls for safe sharing and reuse. Configure how agents and skills are scoped, shared, and permissioned in line with approved requirements, including departmental boundaries, intent review, and guardrails against unintended data exposure.
- Partner across the firm. Work closely with Risk, Compliance, the CISO organization, AI Risk Governance, platform engineering, product, and business teams to confirm intent, close gaps, and ensure capabilities launch with the required controls already in place.
- Report clearly to leadership and governance forums. Produce decision records, review summaries, control evidence, and executive-ready briefings on AI capability posture, risks, and adoption.
QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Data Science, Cybersecurity, or a related technical field.
- 5+ years in enterprise technology, with at least 2 years working directly with generative AI, LLMs, copilots, or agent platforms.
- Demonstrated hands-on experience configuring tenants, platform, or security controls — not just specifying them.
- Proficiency in scripting and automation with PowerShell, Python, Microsoft Graph API, and KQL, applied to policy enforcement, monitoring, or audit reporting.
- Hands-on experience with at least one major enterprise AI platform: Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, Azure AI Foundry, or Anthropic Claude.
- Working knowledge of how agents, skills, prompts, grounding, connectors, and retrieval behave — including where they can leak data or produce unreliable results.
- Strong grasp of identity, access, and data protection fundamentals, ideally in an Entra and Purview environment.
- Proven ability to read a policy or control standard and determine what it means in practice for a platform configuration.
- Clear, concise writing and the confidence to present recommendations to senior stakeholders.
SKILLS:
- Familiarity with AI cost and consumption management — token metering, prompt-caching economics, spending limits, and chargeback or show back models.
- Exposure to responsible AI or AI risk frameworks such as the NIST AI Risk Management Framework or ISO/IEC 42001.
- Familiarity with AI supply-chain risk — untrusted skills, plugins, and MCP servers as an attack vector — and with registry, scanning, and gating approaches to control them.
- Practical experience with model evaluation, benchmarking, red-teaming, or prompt-injection and jailbreak testing.
- Experience ingesting AI platform telemetry into Microsoft Sentinel or Defender XDR and extending incident-response playbooks to AI-specific alerts.
- Experience with network- and proxy-layer enforcement of AI traffic, including application-identity or URL-category policy, TLS inspection, and egress control for cloud-resident agents that bypass the corporate firewall.
- Familiarity with Microsoft Purview DLP, sensitivity labels, Entra External ID, and data entitlement enforcement.
- Hands-on experience deploying client and endpoint policy through Intune or Group Policy — for example, pinning an AI desktop application to the enterprise tenant and forcing SSO.
- Familiarity with agent and non-human identity models, including on-behalf-of execution, admin-assigned agent permissions, and central agent registration in Entra, Agent 365, or Azure AI Foundry.
- Experience administering the agent and skill lifecycle in Copilot Studio, Agent 365, or Anthropic enterprise administration — inventory, ownership, sharing controls, and inactivity review.
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code or configuration management (Terraform, Bicep, ARM) applied to platform governance.
- Experience supporting technology intake, control testing, or audit and evidence process.
- Experience in financial services or another regulated industry, including familiarity with supervisory and recordkeeping obligations.
- Experience validating audit, e-discovery, and records-retention coverage for a new platform, including provider compliance or audit APIs and OpenTelemetry-based log export.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship in Data Governance Lead
Align your credentials to Systems Analyst
TN visa status for Data Governance Lead roles routes through the Systems Analyst category. Your degree in computer science, information systems, or a related field must appear on your credential evaluation before you approach any employer about sponsorship.
Target employers with data compliance mandates
Financial institutions, healthcare networks, and publicly traded companies operate under strict data governance regulations. These employers already budget for a dedicated governance lead and are far more likely to understand what TN sponsorship requires from their side.
Request a role-specific support letter early
Your employer's support letter must connect your degree to Systems Analyst duties: data cataloging, lineage tracking, policy enforcement. A vague letter citing general IT management is a common reason CBP officers ask follow-up questions at the Canadian border.
Verify the job description before signing
Job titles like Data Governance Lead sometimes bundle unrelated duties such as project management or vendor negotiation. Duties that fall outside Systems Analyst scope can complicate your TN approval. Review the posted description against USCIS specialty occupation guidance before accepting an offer.
Use Migrate Mate to find TN-ready openings
Searching for Data Governance Lead roles at employers experienced with visa sponsorship saves weeks of cold outreach. Migrate Mate filters job listings to help you identify employers with recent visa filings, so you can focus on companies that have sponsored work visa candidates before.
Prepare a Mexican consulate appointment strategy
Mexican citizens cannot use port-of-entry processing and must book a U.S. consulate interview. Appointment slots vary significantly by location and season, so apply for your interview date as soon as your employer finalizes the offer letter and support letter documentation.
Data Governance Lead TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Data Governance Lead role qualify for TN visa status?
Yes, provided the position maps to the Systems Analyst occupational category under USMCA. The role must center on technical duties like data classification frameworks, metadata governance, or enterprise data policy enforcement rather than general program management. Your employer's support letter must make that connection explicit, and your degree should be in computer science, information systems, or a closely related field.
How does TN visa sponsorship compare to H-1B for Data Governance Lead positions?
TN status has no annual lottery and no cap for Canadian citizens, so you can start work as soon as CBP approves your application at the border. H-1B visa selection is lottery-based with an April registration window and an October start date. For a Data Governance Lead role with a confirmed offer, TN sponsorship typically gets you into the position months faster than waiting for an H-1B slot.
What documents does my employer need to provide for TN sponsorship?
Your employer must prepare a formal support letter on company letterhead that describes your job title, duties, salary, and employment duration, and explicitly classifies the role under the Systems Analyst TN category. The letter should reference your qualifying degree. Canadian citizens present this letter directly at a port of entry. Mexican citizens submit it as part of their consulate application package. No government labor certification or prevailing wage documentation is required for TN status.
Where can I find Data Governance Lead jobs that already offer TN visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Canadian and Mexican professionals searching for roles with TN visa sponsorship. Rather than filtering through general job boards and guessing which employers will sponsor a TN, Migrate Mate surfaces listings from employers who have already committed to TN sponsorship, including Data Governance Lead and related information systems roles.
Can I switch employers after starting a Data Governance Lead role on TN status?
Yes, but your TN authorization is tied to your current employer. Before you can legally begin work with a new company, that employer must independently establish your TN status, either by presenting a new support letter at a Canadian port of entry or through USCIS Form I-129 for a change of employer. You cannot port TN status the way certain H-1B holders can under portability provisions.
