Full Job Description

WHO IS FLOCK? Every community deserves to be safe, it’s a fundamental right. Our mission is simple - to build technology that reduces crime and protects privacy. Flock partners with cities, businesses, schools, and neighborhoods to help protect where people live, work, and play. Last year, Flock technology supported over 1 million criminal investigations. We've also helped solve approximately 20% of reported crimes in areas where we're deployed, and have played a role in locating more than 10,000 missing people. We are a high-performance team united by urgency, ownership, and a shared commitment to meaningful impact. The work is fast-paced and the expectations are high. We push beyond perceived limits, support each other, and hold ourselves accountable to delivering results that matter. With over $1B in funding and an $8.3B valuation, we are scaling with intention and investing in the people who will help us build what others said could not be done. At Flock, you will find the opportunity to grow quickly, take on real responsibility, and contribute to something bigger than yourself. THE OPPORTUNITY We are hiring a Media Relations Specialist to join Flock Safety’s Communications team. In this role, you'll be an important part of a lean but high efficiency team – soliciting stories from customers, drafting press releases, pitching solved crime stories to news outlets, supporting local city press conferences, and building and maintaining relationships with reporters and Flock Safety’s public sector customers. This is a fast-paced, high-energy, extremely proactive role that requires a creative, scrappy, problem-solving mindset and the ability to handle a high volume and challenging PR environment. The Media Relations Specialist should display exceptional communication skills, a high attention to detail, and the ability to balance many moving parts. The ideal candidate will be a strong athlete / generalist – with the ability to flex and adapt to many different situations
