Director of Communications

The Problem

---------------

Every community deserves to be safe. Flock builds the technology that makes that real: last year we supported over 1 million criminal investigations and helped locate more than 10,000 missing people. We're building the impossible with over $1B in funding, and the expectations are high on purpose. If you want a role where the stakes are real and the pace matches (with incredibly supportive, smart colleagues in the foxhole with you), you’ve come to the right place.

We’re looking for a seasoned, pressure tested strategic communications leader to own our narrative, manage high-stakes media relations, and build an authentic brand presence that resonates with local communities, law enforcement, and future talent. This role will travel 10-15%.

What You'll Own

-------------------

• Build and execute a proactive external communications and PR strategy that establishes Flock as the undisputed leader in public safety technology.
• Own crisis communications and issues management, proactively mitigating narrative risks and protecting company reputation across all public platforms.
• Partner with executive leadership to elevate founder and executive thought leadership, securing high-impact keynotes and top-tier media placements.
• Establish clear, measurable metrics for brand sentiment, media reach, and narrative control across key growth markets.
• You will report to the VP of Communications and grow a small, high-performing dotted-line team of media relations experts. You will also help manage external agency support.

What This Role is Not

-------------------------

• Not a pure corporate mouthpiece. We don't do fluff or overly polished corporate speak; you must deliver clear, transparent, and high-impact messaging.
• Not a passive reactive role. You won't just respond to press inquiries; you are expected to aggressively shape the narrative before others write it for us.
• Not a hands-off delegate-only position. W
