At Tenneco, we don’t follow industry standards; we set them, and we don’t settle for being best-in-class because we hustle to be better than best-in-class. Whether it’s our Core Values – radical candor, simplify, organizational velocity, tenacious execution and win – or our Get Stuff Done (GSD) mindset, we’re determined to become the most trusted partner and best manufacturer and distributor to the transportation industry.

With a product portfolio as expansive as it is innovative, an obsessive commitment to quality and excellence, and a global presence, we’re all about getting stuff done, so we can win.

How do we make it happen?

Through the Tenneco Way. Fueled by our Core Values, a winning mindset and a relentless commitment to excellence, the Tenneco Way is how we win. It’s what keeps Team Tenneco bold, driven, and unapologetically focused on pushing past limits and redefining success.

Here, you’ll work alongside a team of relentless problem-solvers who are committed to making a tangible impact. If you’re ready to break boundaries, deliver results, and enjoy the ride along the way, you’ll thrive here.

You will join Tenneco’s Global Operational Excellence team as it deploys P3, Tenneco’s operating system, across 200+ plants in 28 countries. You will lead supply chain improvement in the plants, run Kaizens and capability workshops, and deliver measurable results in inventory, working capital, freight cost, and customer service. You will be a key relationship, working across and between functions, driving measurable projects that deliver value to the organization.

We built this role for a high-potential manufacturing and supply chain professional who is ready to accelerate. You will work alongside senior supply chain leaders who will coach you directly and invest in your growth. In return, we expect you to own your work: take the strategy, build the plan, and drive results without day-to-day management. If you like being micro-managed, this is not the job for you.
