Job description

The Problem

At Flock, our products make a big impact in public safety, carrying significant responsibility around privacy, safety, and ethics. As public safety technologies and their regulatory frameworks expand across communities, compliance requirements and policy questions grow in complexity. You will lead the effort to conduct legal research, track legislative changes, and draft critical communications for customers, communities, and elected officials, ensuring every message balances legal accuracy with policy-driven perspective to build lasting transparency and trust.

What You'll Own

• Conduct comprehensive legal research and legislative tracking to evaluate federal, state, and local regulations impacting public safety technology.

• Draft and review critical communications for customers, elected officials, and public safety stakeholders to ensure accuracy and policy alignment.

• Partner cross-functionally with Legal, External Affairs, and Communications teams to align messaging with regulatory obligations.

• Analyze emerging legislative trends in privacy and public safety regulation to proactively support compliance strategies.

• Develop policy position materials that help Flock navigate public safety technology regulation and mitigate business risk.

What This Role is Not

• This isn't an external lobbyist position, you'll collaborate closely with External Affairs, but your primary focus is legal research, policy analysis, and cross-functional drafting.

• This is not a generalized corporate legal counsel role, your focus is specifically tuned to public safety technology regulation, legislative tracking, and compliance communications.

• This isn't a high-volume litigation role, your core responsibility centers on policy research and proactive messaging review rather than managing courtroom disputes.

What You Bring

• The ideal candidate will have attended law school and bring post-graduate public-sector experience, along with strong legal research, legislative analysis, and regulatory tracking skills.

• Demonstrated ability to perform precise legal research, analyze legislative proposals, and track regulatory changes.

• Strong track record of partnering cross-functionally across legal, communications, and external affairs teams.

• Proven ability to review and refine high-stakes communications with close attention to detail and policy sensitivity.

• Deep analytical skills to distill complex statutory requirements into clear, actionable recommendations.

• A background in law or public policy, with experience in government, legal, or policy-focused environments welcomed.

Compensation

In this role, you'll receive a starting salary between $133,000 and $185,000 as well as Flock Stock Options. Base salary is determined by job-related experience, education/training, as well as market indicators. Your recruiter will discuss this in depth with you during our first chat.

Why Flock

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 1,700 people 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, this is it.

Some problems get solved faster in the same room, so we prioritize candidates in Atlanta and Boston. Hub-based roles mean real in-person time with your coworkers. Remote roles exist, and when a posting is open to remote work, it says so.

The impossible takes every kind of mind. Flock is an equal opportunity employer, and we know the best solutions come from diverse perspectives, experiences, and skills working together with mutual respect. Everyone is welcome to apply. If you need assistance or an accommodation due to a disability, email [e-mail]; your information stays confidential and is used only to arrange the right accommodation for your interviews.

On compensation. We pay fairly for the work. Base salary is determined by job-related experience, education, training, and market indicators. The range in this posting covers base salary only and doesn't include equity, sales bonus plans where applicable, or benefits. The range may be adjusted over time, and this posting may span more than one career level.

One last thing. All legitimate communication from Flock comes from an email ending in @flocksafety.com or [e-mail]. We never make offers through messaging apps or third parties, and we never request payment or sensitive personal information during hiring. If you encounter suspicious outreach about a Flock role, report it to [e-mail].
