About the role

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 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 (with incredibly supportive, smart colleagues in the foxhole with you), you’ve come to the right place. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

  • Must-Have: Strong existing relationships with DC and Beltway press. If not, you’re scrappy and hungry and willing to find ways in with editors, reporters, and have a muscle for quickly building those relationships

Build relationships with Beltway reporters. Own regular outreach to relevant reporters at POLITICO, Semafor, Axios, Puck, and Punchbowl, particularly as we prepare for Flock to become a hot-button...
