Director of Social Media

Flock Safety is the leading safety technology platform, helping communities thrive by taking a proactive approach to crime prevention and security.

Trusted by over 5,000 communities, 4,500 law enforcement agencies, and 1,000 businesses, Flock delivers real-time intelligence while prioritizing privacy and responsible innovation.

We’re a high-performance, low-ego team driven by urgency, collaboration, and bold thinking. Working at Flock means tackling big challenges, moving fast, and continuously improving. It’s intense but deeply rewarding for those who want to make an impact.

With nearly $700M in venture funding and a $7.5B valuation, we’re scaling intentionally and seeking top talent to help build the impossible. If you value teamwork, ownership, and solving tough problems, Flock could be the place for you.

Reporting directly to the CMO, the Director of Social Media will be Flock’s first dedicated social hire - tasked with building our social presence from the ground up and scaling it into a powerful, multi-platform engine for brand, engagement, and growth. This is a rare chance to architect Flock’s social media strategy, voice, and playbook at scale, shaping how millions of people perceive our mission. We’re looking for a creative, data-driven leader who can balance brand storytelling with tactical execution. You’ll own the strategy and day-to-day management of Flock’s social channels, growing them significantly over the next 12–18 months while defining what “best-in-class” civic-tech social looks like.

• Key responsibilities:

  • Develop and execute a bold, multi-platform social media strategy (LinkedIn, X, Instagram, YouTube, and other emerging platforms).

  • Build Flock’s brand voice across social, shaping content that drives awareness, trust, and engagement across B2G and B2B audiences.

  • Manage the daily operation of Flock’s channels, content calendars, publishing, engagement, and real-time brand moments.

  • Partner with brand, creative, content, and comms teams to ensure social amplifies major campaigns, product launches, and storytelling initiatives.

  • Drive growth through audience insights, social listening, competitor benchmarking, and trend spotting.

  • Scale social into a performance engine: set KPIs, measure results, and use analytics to guide constant iteration.

  • Recruit and grow a small but mighty social team as the function scales.

  • Serve as an internal expert and evangelist on how social can drive pipeline, brand affinity, and community impact.

• 10+ years of proven experience in social media strategy and execution, ideally in high-growth tech, civic-tech, and/or mission-driven companies.

• Demonstrated success in building and scaling social followings and engagement from scratch.

• Deep expertise across LinkedIn, X, Instagram, YouTube, and other emerging platforms.

• A strong blend of creative and analytical skills, with a proven ability to concept award-worthy campaigns and prove their impact with data.

• Excellent understanding of brand building, tone of voice, and audience psychology.

• Experience managing crisis comms and sensitive conversations online with nuance and professionalism.

• Skilled at using social listening, analytics, and publishing tools.

• Strong cross-functional collaboration and communication skills; ability to partner with executives, sales, comms, and product marketing.

• Comfortable working fast, iterating, and testing bold ideas in public view.
