From September 2014 she worked at the insurance firm AXA on issues related to global public policy, data protection and climate change.[5][6]
Before joining En Marche!, De Montchalin identified as on the political center-right. She has spoken of becoming disenchanted with François Fillon and of being inspired by Emmanuel Macron's reformist and pro-European stance, and also by what she perceives as his willingness to prioritize skills over political experience.[4][7][8] In the 2017 legislative elections she was elected with 61.34% of the vote, defeating her opponent Françoise Couasse of the Union of Democrats and Independents.[9] Turnout was low at 41.25%.[10]

On 27 March 2019, she was appointed as Secretary of State for European Affairs, succeeding Nathalie Loiseau.[12] She served in this post until July 2020, when she was promoted to become Minister for Transformation and Public Service.[1]
