About this role
Global Investigations Review (GIR), a leading international news, analysis and data platform covering cross-border investigations into corporate wrongdoing, is seeking a junior reporter to join its US team. This is an entry-level position, open to candidates based in Washington, DC or New York. You’ll be part of a specialist reporting team covering white-collar enforcement, sanctions, export controls, anti-money laundering and anti-corruption developments. This is a fast-evolving beat shaped by intensifying geopolitical tensions, the expansion of sanctions and export control regimes, increased scrutiny of sanctions evasion networks (including through third-country intermediaries and digital assets), and heightened US enforcement priorities around corporate crime, national security and illicit finance. You will write for a global audience of investigations and compliance practitioners, including lawyers, regulators, in-house counsel and risk professionals. Your reporting will be driven by close analysis of court filings, regulatory disclosures and enforcement actions, as well as interviews with sources, public records requests and other original reporting techniques. The role involves coverage of key US institutions, including the Department of Justice, SEC, Treasury (including OFAC and FinCEN) and other enforcement bodies. Depending on location, you will also track developments across major litigation venues, including the federal courts in the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York, as well as DC federal courts, where many of the most significant corporate enforcement and sanctions-related cases are litigated. You will contribute to GIR’s track record of breaking news and delivering high-quality analysis on enforcement trends, corporate resolutions, compliance expectations and personnel moves within key agencies. You will also have opportunities to develop longer-form reporting, pitching and writing features on emerging risks, investigative techniques, and underreported aspects of global enforcement practice. You will build a network of sources across the US legal and compliance community in both DC and New York, while receiving hands-on editorial guidance, training and feedback from senior editors.
