WHO IS FLOCK?

Flock Safety is the leading safety technology platform, helping communities thrive by taking a proactive approach to crime prevention and security. Our hardware and software suite connects cities, law enforcement, businesses, schools, and neighborhoods in a nationwide public-private safety network. 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.

THE OPPORTUNITY

As our marketing and brand presence expand, we need a dedicated Motion Designer to bring the Flock Safety story to life through high-impact motion graphics, animations, and visual storytelling. This role will help define how motion lives across our website, paid ads, campaigns, product launches, sales tools, and tentpole events. You will own the development of our motion style guide and help build a scalable motion component system (transitions, lower thirds, animated iconography, and product UI animations).

You’ll partner with our in-house videographers to edit, polish and ship video projects. You’ll partner with our web designer to deliver engaging scroll-based animations, microinteractions, and Lottie animations that match our new brand system. You’ll guide the motion design process from beginning to end - helping internal stakeholders to realize their vision while keeping projects on time and on brand. You’re used to working in a fast-paced environment with tight deadlines and a high bar for quality.
