We are hiring, could you work for Common Sense?
Hi everyone,
I’m Claudia, and I run the community here at Common Sense, which means I spend most of my week reading your messages, watching what you share, and noticing what makes you lean in. Today I get to write to you about something that has been quietly building for a while, and it feels right to say it plainly.
We are hiring, and here is why it matters
Common Sense started life as a news company. Over the years, it became something larger than that label could hold, a place where young, curious people come for honest conversation about politics, faith, culture, and the questions that actually keep them up at night. We are formally becoming what we have already been in practice, a media and insights collective built for people who want to understand the world rather than simply react to it. Growth like that asks for more hands, sharper minds, and people who take the mission as seriously as we do.
So we are opening five founding roles, and the word founding is deliberate. These are not seats to fill but a team to build with. We are looking for a
Chief of Staff,
Head of Media Production and Content,
Head of Partnerships and Services,
Multimedia Producer and Editor
Community and Engagement Manager.
If any of those sound like the work you were made for, or you know the person who fits, I would love to hear from you. You can read the full descriptions and apply through the link below, or email us at mike@tcsnetwork.co.uk with the role and your name in the subject line.

The episode you should not skip this week
Our latest conversation is with Austin Okolo, who went from football to fashion before stumbling into building the Gen Z Club and a recruitment agency focused on young, diverse talent. What makes this one worth your time is the honesty. Austin talks openly about getting everything he wanted and still feeling empty, about losing money to a pyramid scheme at eighteen, and about a job market so brutal that a whole generation is being pushed into businesses they never chose.
The title carries most of it. Everyone Wants Dubai. Nobody Wants the Work. It is a clear-eyed look at the distance between the highlight reel and the real cost of building something, and it pairs nicely with a strong coffee on a slow morning.
That is everything from me for now. Thank you for being part of this, especially as we step into a bigger version of what we set out to do. Reply and tell me which role caught your eye, or what you made of Austin. I read every message.
Claudia Community Lead,
Common Sense
