She began her career in 1987 as an intern at the Studio Museum, then joined the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1988. Golden returned to the Studio Museum in 2000 as the Deputy Director for exhibitions and programs and was named the Director and Chief Curator in 2005. Under her leadership, the Studio Museum has gained renown as a global leader in the exhibition of contemporary art and a cultural anchor in the Harlem community. Now in her 24th year at the Museum, she is ushering in a new era for the institution with the construction of the first-ever purpose-built facility in its over 50-year history.

In 2024, Golden was awarded the W.E.B. DuBois Medal by Harvard University and the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research.
