Flock Safety · Atlanta
MarketingPolicy & CommunicationsRemoteFullTime
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.
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 into the VP of Communications and also manage + grow a small but high performing team of media relations experts. You will also help manage external agency support.
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. We operate with a high bias for action; you will write, strategize, and execute alongside your team. You will also be expected to grow and nurture your team to have strong judgment when working in high stakes environments with Tier 1 media.
Must-Have: 8-10 years of communications, media relations, or PR leadership experience, ideally within tech, public policy, or high-growth environments.
Must-Have: Proven track record of managing crisis communications, high-stakes public safety or policy narratives, and top-tier national media relationships.
Must-Have: Strong executive presence with experience media training and advising C-suite leaders.
Nice-to-Have: Policy comms experience or a desire to learn the function, players, and right strategies.
Nice-to-Have: Experience working within public sector, law enforcement, or civic technology landscapes.
