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.
Flock is entering a new phase of scale. As our product footprint expands across web and mobile and our customer base broadens across public and private sectors, our tools support users with very different workflows, environments, and responsibilities. From office-based analysts to field-based professionals, customers rely on Flock to make fast, confident decisions. Meeting these diverse needs requires a cohesive, intuitive, and user-centered product experience.
We’re hiring a Senior Manager of Product Design to elevate usability, consistency, and design quality across our product suite while strengthening the partnership between Product, Engineering, and Design. This leader will bring clarity where complexity exists, champion user-centered thinking, and establish the practices that allow a high-performing design team to move quickly and thoughtfully.
In this role, you will:

Defining core primitives, information architecture, interaction design, and user interface design, with the ability to evaluate and elevate the quality of each
Strong design craft and product intuition, able to translate complex user needs into simple, effective solutions
Exceptional cross-functional communication skills, with the ability to influence and align stakeholders at every level
Comfort operating with ambiguity and driving clarity in fast-paced, high-growth settings

Establish and maintain design processes and rituals that enable high-quality work at high velocity
Strengthen relationships with Product, Engineering, and customer-facing teams to ensure we’re solving the right problems and delivering intuitive, impactful experiences
Lead a data-informed design practice – partnering with Product Analytics and cross-functional teams to define, track, and interpret UX health indicators — using insights to guide design decisions and measure impact
Serve as a hands-on player-coach, engaging in discovery, testing, validation, and iterative loops with the Design team, as well as Product and Engineering
Lead cross-functional initiatives that strengthen our experience quality, such as accessibility (WCAG), usability and interaction standards, and shared patterns across products.
