Join our team, Shape and Define the CANNABIS INDUSTRYhttps://www.nekktar.com

Hi everyone!My name is Julia Loni Turner and I’m a 2020 graduate of Duke University. I started my own company NEKKTAR™, to build cannabis accessories that elevate everyday living. I am a young, queer woman of color in a very homogenous and white industry, the cannabis industry. We realize, however, that cannabis consumers are not that and want accessories that elevate their experience and bring confidence to cannabis. Our products are sophisticated and discreet for consumers to store and transport their personal cannabis. What we are building is very disruptive in the industry as there is nothing like it that is currently available to consumers. BUZZBOXX is a multifunctional carrying case for joints, edibles, loose-leaf, and more that has protective sealing that makes the product odor and water-resistant.Since launching in late May 2020, we have sold over 250 devices through our website, we are in 4 dispensaries in 2 states, and completed a customized product for a commercial real estate company to gift to their clients in legal states. The future of legal cannabis is inevitable and we want to break from the stereotypes to make consumption more comfortable and the industry more diverse and equitable. RIGHT NOW, we are looking for amazing women to join our team as we are growing at a rapid pace. There are 4 main areas that we need help in, but in joining our team you will find yourself having a hand in everything. We want to give you a voice in our company and help bring confidence to cannabis.⓵ Our most pressing opportunity is FUNDRAISING:- Creating a Business Plan- Advising us on how to raise additional capital and through what outlets- Our Company Valuation- Business Forecasting and Planning- Supply Chain and Logistics- Completing the round of financing⓶ Engineering and Product Design and Development- All of our product design, prototyping, and engineering is done in house. If you want to create the next product in our line, this job is for you!⓷ Sales and Customer Acquisition- This is an incredibly "easy" product to sell because there is nothing else like it. People are stunned by its beauty and elegance when they see it so you have the opportunity to take the reins and help sell this product EVERYWHERE.⓸ Marketing and SEO- Help us navigate the unclear landscape of what can be said to market the device and as well as help us optimize our SEO so more consumers can find our brand. If ANY of these opportunities sound even remotely interesting, please reach out. If you feel like you can offer a different, but invaluable skill set to our team, please reach out. If you are interested in the emerging cannabis industry, please reach out. We can't wait to hear from you.
