Job description
The group you’ll be a part of
Join a high-performing global Finance team supporting Lam Research’s Customer Support Business Group (CSBG), with a primary focus on the Services organization. Based in Fremont, this role serves as a finance leader for Services, partnering across operations, engineering, product management, supply chain, field support, regional finance, and accounting. The team helps leaders translate service growth opportunities, deployment priorities, and operating requirements into clear financial choices that support disciplined, profitable growth.
The impact you’ll make
You will help shape the financial foundation for a growing Services business that is central to Lam’s vision for the autonomous fab. Lam’s Services organization is advancing service and support solutions such as self-maintaining equipment, self-aware systems, self-adaptive processes, and collaborative robots (Dextro™), using expanded data and automation capabilities to help customers build the fabs of the future. Your analysis will give leaders a practical view of growth, investment needs, profitability, and execution risk while supporting scalable processes and reliable financial reporting as the business expands.
What you’ll do
Serve as a finance partner to CSBG Services, supporting the full business rhythm—from monthly close, forecasting, and budget reviews to longer-range planning, opportunity assessment, and growth investments.
This experienced individual-contributor role combines hands-on FP&A, business-case analysis, and financial stewardship. You will connect Services strategy, customer support models, deployment plans, operating expense, capital, inventory, service cost, and revenue implications; and turn complex cross-functional inputs into clear recommendations for leadership.
