The Opportunity

Reporting directly to the CMO, the Director of Social Media will be Flock’s first dedicated social hire - tasked with building our social presence from the ground up and scaling it into a powerful, multi-platform engine for brand, engagement, and growth. 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.

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.

Drive growth through audience insights, social listening, competitor benchmarking, and trend spotting.

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.

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.

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.

Comfortable working fast, iterating, and testing bold ideas in public view.
