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.

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. 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. 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. ~ Studies have shown women and minorities are less likely to apply unless they meet all qualifications. This serves as a preview of the 90-day plan you will receive if you were to be hired as a Director of Social Media at Flock Safety. Define the Y1 social strategy, including detailed KPI setting, content strategy, and brand tone of social in partnership with the CMO and comms team.
