Talent Programs Coordinator - #306899

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.

As a Talent Programs Coordinator at Rune, you will play a critical role in helping us attract, engage, and hire the exceptional people needed to accomplish that mission. Working at the intersection of recruiting, operations, and executive support, you will help create a world-class candidate experience while enabling our leadership team to operate at maximum effectiveness.

You'll join us in our mission to bring 21st-century software to the sustainment domain—modernizing inventory management, transportation optimization, and predictive maintenance with state-of-the-art technology. As one of the first touchpoints for many candidates, you'll help shape how top talent experiences Rune while building the operational systems that allow our team to scale quickly and efficiently.
