About The Position

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 seeking a Director of Data Analytics to lead our analytics organization across Analytics Engineering and the Analytics Data Platform. This role will manage teams responsible for building trusted, analysis-ready data assets, standardized metrics, and self-service analytics that support decision-making across the entire company, including Revenue, Finance, Customer Success, Marketing, Product, and Operations. This leader will own analytics strategy, technical standards, and delivery execution while acting as a partner to stakeholders – driving prioritization, tradeoffs, and escalation as analytics demand scales with the business. We’re looking for a deeply hands-on technical leader who can set strategy and actively contribute — building dbt models, writing SQL, reviewing PR’s, and debugging data issues alongside the team.
