Journalist

At Vixio, we’re disrupting and building the future of regulatory intelligence. We are a pioneering RegTech SaaS company helping global organisations turn regulatory complexity into competitive advantage. Our platforms combine automation, AI‑enhanced insights and deep regulatory expertise to deliver real‑time regulatory intelligence and foresight. ⚙️ Through powerful tools, intelligent alerts and workflow automation, Vixio enables compliance teams to move beyond manual research and spreadsheets - empowering them to anticipate change, act faster and make confident strategic decisions. Trusted by some of the world’s leading brands, across Payments, Banking and Gambling, our solutions provide actionable regulatory intelligence across more than 180 jurisdictions , helping organisations navigate risk, unlock new markets and stay ahead in rapidly evolving industries. The Role Based in the US, you will be joining a team of journalists covering the regulatory and compliance landscape in the global gambling industry, contributing long‑form content, as well as insights and analysis to the GamblingCompliance solution and platform. This role also involves collaborating closely with other departments such as regulatory analysis, market data and commercial teams, leveraging Vixio’s proprietary, AI‑enabled regulatory and market data, spotting trends and bringing them to light through unique analysis and insights. Understanding the enduring value of independent journalism as part of a broader regulatory intelligence service, Vixio’s editorial strategy in covering gambling regulation and policy is not to cover ‘news’ but to dive deeper and identify key trends and unexplored angles to directly inform the thinking of senior industry leaders, including lawyers and legal experts, c‑suite executives, and regulators themselves. In this role you will be expected to consider the most innovative ways of presenting high‑level analysis to a sophisticated audience, using new formats developed by Vixio’s established editorial team but also thinking of new ones. Reporting to Vixio’s Managing Editor, you will be expected to produce approximately 3 to 4 unique pieces of analysis each week, with an emphasis on value‑added insights. While most of these pieces of analysis will be focused on regulatory trends and developments in North and Latin America (primarily online gambling, sports betting and emerging verticals including prediction markets – although covering other sectors as well), you will also collaborate with other colleagues to apply a global lens to policy developments, where appropriate. Background You are ambitious, and curious to seek the truth and uncover the key stories and trends impacting the fast changing gambling market. You are persistent and tenacious and won’t give up at the first sign of a challenge. In addition to being a natural storyteller, you can write investigative articles, feature stories and longer, more analytical pieces. You are always eager to follow‑up on developments with fresh angles and enquire about the impact and consequences of news developments. Presenting information or analysis that is totally unique motivates you. Alongside a commitment to produce a range of written content, you are also excited and motivated to deliver the content through multiple channels like audio, video, panels and webinars. To succeed in this role, you are self‑motivated and have exceptional written and verbal communication skills. You are also eager to cover new topics or jurisdictions, and willing to think creatively about how to gather additional information and commentary on complex subjects. Key Responsibilities Assessing leads and pitching relevant/compelling story and longer‑form report ideas to Editors Participating in, and leading where appropriate, broader editorial discussions around trends and coverage ideas Collaborating with colleagues in the editorial team and beyond to develop new article formats or other ways of presenting analysis and information, beyond the confines of a traditional ‘news’ article Preparing and submitting work that is ready for editorial approval and within deadlines Researching and writing reflective and forward‑looking insights/reports, analysing data and information from multiple sources, identifying trends and producing unique/commercially viable content.
