Global Supply Chain Project Manager - Tenneco : Job Details

Global Project Manager -- Supply Chain Transformation

Detroit, MI – Hybrid

At Tenneco, we don't just build components; we drive performance. We're redefining excellence in the transportation industry with a culture that thrives on candor, bold moves, and relentless execution. If you're a certified project manager who thrives in dynamic environments and has a knack for clearing roadblocks while driving impact, we want to hear from you.

Who Are You?

Certified and Battle-Tested: You hold a recognized PM certification (PMP, Prince2, or equivalent) and have led global, cross-functional projects in complex industries like manufacturing, supply chain, or operations.

A Master of Tools & Timelines: You're a pro with Gantt charts, RAID logs, critical path methodology, and project tracking software like MS Project, Smartsheet, or Monday.com. You bring organizational clarity, and momentum to every initiative.

Strategically Gritty: You know how to push through ambiguity and roadblocks, proactively breaking down silos and setting up repeatable frameworks. You're calm in the chaos and always move the ball forward.

Influential Communicator: Whether it's presenting to a director, rallying with a plant manager, or aligning stakeholders across regions, you bring confidence, empathy, and clarity. You can speak all internal languages within the organization: operations, supply chain, purchasing, etc.

Genuine but Persistent: You build trust quickly. Your demeanor is approachable and sincere, but your follow-through is relentless. People want to work with you — and they get things done because you make it easier to do so.

Your Mission:

Drive impact, not just timelines — lead global projects that move Tenneco's Supply Chain Transformation

Relentless momentum. Agile response. Integrated strength. Lean precision. Built to last.

As Global Project Manager, you will:

• Drive cross-functional project execution across our global supply chain, supporting the transformation efforts across 80+ manufacturing plants.
• Deploy and govern large-scale, enterprise-wide projects that shape how data, process, and performance come together.
• Own the project structure for the Global Supply Chain Project Management Toolbox.
• Apply The Tenneco Way to standardize processes, improve accountability, and accelerate progress.

What You'll Bring:

• Educational Foundation: Bachelor's degree in project management, Engineering, Supply Chain, Business, International Business, Marketing, Construction Management or related field (Master's a plus). Certificate of any APICS or Six Sigma a plus.
• Project Management Certification: PMP, Prince2, or equivalent
• Advanced Project Toolkit: Extensive knowledge and experience with project planning and tracking tools, Gantt charts, RAID logs, MS Project, etc.
• Communication Across Borders: Strong and assertive communication skills in English; ability to collaborate across cultures, functions, and time zones. Other languages are a plus.
• Healthily OCD Equipped About the Details: If a dashboard color palette shifts mid-report, a border is 2px instead of 1px, a font changes style between slides, or a date format is inconsistent, you notice. And you fix it. That “good kind of OCD” helps elevate our standards through your work from functional to flawless, and ensures every stakeholder trusts what they see.

What we Offer:

• A Culture Built for Project Leaders: We don't just talk about transformation — we execute it. Our culture is engineered for those who lead from the front, thrive in ambiguity, and drive results with speed, precision, and purpose.
• Clarity, Accountability, and Ownership: This is a high-transparency, high-accountability environment. We cut through complexity with radical candor, empowering project managers to align cross-functional teams, own outcomes, and drive relentless progress.
• Competitive Pay for High Performance: We back our expectations with strong compensation — including a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package supporting your physical, mental, and financial health.
• Global Scope, Real-World Impact: You'll lead projects that span continents, teams, and systems; your work will impact the entire supply chain and beyond.
• Growth That Matches Your Ambition: You'll be trusted with visibility at the highest levels, given stretch assignments, and supported with ongoing development so you can take your career — and our business — to the next level.
