Head Sustainability Jobs (NOW HIRING)

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.

As Head of Mission Success, you will lead the deployment of Rune products and lead all aspects of programmatic execution for the company. You will be responsible for programmatic timelines, synchronization across efforts, staffing, and coordination across cloud and edge environments with customers from the Joint Force and allied nations.

This is a customer-facing role where you will be engaging with senior military leaders to ensure alignment and buy-in. This is a role with deep cross-functional expectations, coordinating and working closely with the company's Head of Software and Head of Growth ensuring Mission Success, Growth, Engineering, and Product are synchronized across all deployment and execution efforts. Rune's Head of Mission Success reports directly to the company's CEO and is an integral part of the leadership team as Rune scales.

You will lead and grow a team of dedicated Mission Managers leading active efforts across the Joint Force, while remaining deeply hands-on in implementation and technical execution. You will define Rune's programmatic direction, set standards for performance and execution, and lead deployment of teams and systems globally.
