Our group of hard-working employees thrive in a positive and inclusive environment, where a bias towards action is rewarded.

We have raised over $700M in venture capital from investors including Tiger Global, Andreessen Horowitz, Matrix Partners, Bedrock Capital, Meritech Capital Partners, and Initialized Capital. Now surpassing a $7.5B valuation, Flock is scaling intentionally and seeking the best and brightest to help us meet our goal of reducing crime in the United States by 25% in the next three years.

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, 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 (think transitions, lower thirds, animated iconography, and product UI animations). You’ll also partner closely with our brand and web teams to support the new flock.com website launching in Q2, delivering engaging scroll-based animations, microinteractions, and Lottie animations that match our new brand system.

By adding a Motion Designer to the team, we’ll ensure we have the foundation and expertise in place to integrate motion into all brand moments—from digital ads and email campaigns to product demos and event installations. Our team’s aim is more, better, faster – all in support of our mission to eliminate crime.
