Mission Manager

About Rune Rune Technologies builds mission-critical software for military logistics and sustainment. Our flagship product is TyrOS, an AI-enabled logistics command and control platform that gives commanders a single, real-time operating picture of their sustainment fight, from inventory and distribution to medical and operational planning, even in degraded and contested environments. We're not a traditional defense contractor. We're a small, fast‑moving team that combines deep operational experience in and with the DoD with the software discipline of the best product companies, and we apply that combination to a customer set that desperately needs it. We stay close to our users by embedding directly with military units during exercises and rotations, and we ship constantly based on what we learn. The U.S. military and its allies face a real logistics modernization problem. We're building the software to solve it. About the Role Our mission managers are the linchpin connecting our innovative engineering and product teams with our military partners as we execute contracted work. If you excel at building deep, trust‑based relationships, translating complex operational needs into actionable product and program strategies, and thriving in high‑ownership customer‑facing roles, then you’re the ideal candidate for our mission manager team. In this role, you’ll ensure our solutions meet the rigorous demands of modern military logistics – driving success from the remote tactical edge to the highest levels of command.
