Yuni served as Head of the-stable-of-Seti-I, Charioteer of His Majesty, and Chief of the Medjay before becoming Viceroy during the reign of Seti I.[1] He would use some of these titles simultaneously. On a stela from Abydos – now in the Cairo Museum (Jd'E 34620) – the inscription reads:
Yuni started the Egyptian building projects at Amara West and Aksha.[2] It was "on his orders that the first blocks of the Abu Simbel temples were cut.[2] Yuny commemorated his work with a rock-cut scene showing himself standing before Ramesses II on the Abu Simbel cliff.[2] After ten years under Ramesses II, Yuny retired from his post in Nubia.[2] He was succeeded by Heqanakht.
