Beginning his career at Mizz magazine, Gray later moved on to work at the Catholic Herald.[3] Later, he worked as a literary editor for The American Conservative.[4]

In 2014, Gray was appointed as the deputy editor of The Spectator.

Gray is the founding editor of the Spectator's world edition and later spear-headed the introduction of its print edition. Gray expressed a desire that it should not contain any strong bias concerning the presidency of Donald Trump and eschew any attempt to exert influence over the future of American conservatism.[5][6][7]

Gray is the current host of the Spectator's Americano podcast.[8]

Gray was a prominent ally of fellow journalist Toby Young during the controversy leading up to Young's resignation from his post at the Office for Students.[9]

Gray has in the past described himself as a "free-speech enthusiast".[10]
