At bukd, we’re very excited that our app is going live and we are looking to rapidly build our team to drive bukd forward.
What is bukd?
The bukd app enables users to book, pre-order and pay for food drink, tickets, taxis and other services, all from one app. Bukd will be the only app you need to manage the entertainment aspect of your social life.
For venues, bukd will be a very low cost, (freemium) product that answers their prayers. Full customer communication & management in one simple app.
All Roles
If you are passionate, have perseverance and excited about the opportunity to be in at the beginning of a start-up with massive potential, then keep reading.
None of these roles are for 9-5’ers or those of a shy disposition, as our market is the hospitality industry. Hours will be odd and often involve visiting takeaways, pubs, bars, clubs & large venues at all hours of the day and night, including weekends.
As bukd grows and evolves, we expect a wide range of roles to be created. However, as with all start-ups, initially, we need people who can jump in to multiple roles as the need arises.
All roles will initially be on an expensed intern basis till Christmas. Once our next round of fundraising is complete, successful internees will be offered full time positions, with some key roles having share options attached.
Here are some of the roles we need filling.
District Evangelist – Locations: Nationwide
Help us put bukd on the map, district by district. You should be reasonably local to your chosen districts and knowledgeable about the area. The role will call for a mix of both digital marketing and that “old fashioned stuff” – talking to people on the phone and face to face. So, you’ll need to have a pretty bright personality, able to quickly build rapport with venue managers and excite them so much about bukd, they can’t wait to sign up.
The role will involve explaining and demonstrating bukd to venues, pointing out the benefits of getting bukd on board. You need to be a self-starter, with a persuasive manner. Someone with persistence, who doesn’t take no for an answer the first time they hear it, (nor the second or third). Your determination to get a result will undoubtedly see you land this role anyway!

Our City Evangelists will be pretty much like a Superhero District Evangelist. You will need to motivate and coordinate the work of a team of District Evangelists (and will probably have “been there, done that” role themselves first). This is a very key role within bukd.
