Date: Mar 6, 2025
Location:
Tualatin, OR, US, 97062
Req ID: 188061
Worker Category: On-site
The Group You’ll Be A Part Of
In the Global Products Group, we are dedicated to excellence in the design and engineering of Lam’s etch and deposition products. We drive innovation to ensure our cutting-edge solutions are helping to solve the biggest challenges in the semiconductor industry.
The Impact You’ll Make
As the Administrative Assistant supporting executive members of our Global Products Group, you will be more than just a meeting, calendar, and traveling guru. You will also be a proactive partner in managing projects, streamlining operations, and taking a proactive approach to problems. The role requires exceptional organizational skills, a positive attitude, and a problem-solving mindset to help the leadership team stay focused on high-priority objectives. This is a fast-paced team with many competing priorities.
What You’ll Do
Minimum Qualifications
This position is 100% on-site, Monday - Friday, with no opportunity for remote or hybrid work. Dress code for this role is business casual most of the time but will also require a more professional business casual during customer visits to the site.
Preferred Qualifications
The ideal candidate has demonstrated experience working in a very fast-paced environment providing administrative support to executives. We’re looking for an expert problem solver. We need someone who can remain calm during stressful situations, such as rebooking international travel last minute or revising an itinerary during a customer visit. We need an administrative assistant who is comfortable and capable of working with leaders who have a wide range of styles. Some need more attention than others. In this role, one administrative style does not fit all. We need someone who can flex their style based on the leaders whom they support. We need an administrative assistant who is comfortable pivoting, with short or no notice, from one project to another, based on business priorities.
Successful candidates will have a positive attitude, are eager to provide assistance (as opposed to looking for ways not to help out) and can perform the job in a professional manner at all times. We’re looking for someone who enjoys and is good at building relationships with various groups, such as IT, catering, facilities, security, and the admin community. We’re looking for someone who tends to say, "Not my job, but I’m happy to help out,” rather than “Not my job” and refusing to help.
Our Commitment
We believe it is important for every person to feel valued, included, and empowered to achieve their full potential. By bringing unique individuals and viewpoints together, we achieve extraordinary results.
