Project Manager, Aviation

Who is Flock?

Flock Safety is the leading safety technology platform, helping communities thrive by taking a proactive approach to crime prevention and security. Our hardware and software suite connects cities, law enforcement, businesses, schools, and neighborhoods in a nationwide public-private safety network. 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.

The Opportunity

We’re hiring a Project Manager, DFR to support our Drone as First Responder (DFR) program. Following Flock’s recent acquisition of Aerodrome, a leader in public safety drone technology, we are entering a rapid growth phase and expect a robust pipeline of projects in 2025.

This role exists to solve the challenge of scaling complex DFR deployments—integrating hardware, software, and services—while maintaining speed, quality, and consistency. You’ll serve as the cross-functional hub that connects engineering, deployment, vendors, and public safety customers to ensure projects are delivered on time and to Flock’s high standards. Ultimately, your work will help accelerate adoption of innovative drone technology that makes communities safer.

The Skillset

To succeed in this role, you’ll bring:

  • Project Management Expertise: Experience leading complex, multi-phase projects (ideally in technology or hardware deployment).

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Ability to align diverse teams (sales, engineering, deployment, vendors) to achieve results.

  • Technical Acumen: Comfort with hardware/software deployments and ability to manage technical requirements.

  • Risk & Time Management: Skilled at prioritizing, identifying risks, and balancing competing deadlines.

  • Strong Communication: Clear written and verbal communication for reporting, stakeholder updates, and vendor coordination.

  • Problem-Solving: Resourceful and adaptable when challenges arise.

  • Data-Driven Mindset: Leverage data to evaluate outcomes and drive improvements.

  • Process Orientation: Experience streamlining workflows for scale and efficiency.

Bonus Points For:

  • PMP Certification

  • Experience working with public safety agencies

  • Knowledge of FAA Part 107 regulations

  • Hands-on experience with commercial UAS technology

💡 Feeling uneasy that you haven’t ticked every box? That’s okay—we’ve felt that way too. Studies have shown women and minorities are less likely to apply unless they meet all qualifications. We encourage you to break the status quo and apply to roles that excite you.
