Lead Business Writer, Communications

Calix is looking for a Lead Business Writer, Communications (Remote – USA) who can identify, shape, and write compelling stories for one of our most visible external communications channels: press releases. Calix press releases play a pivotal role in shaping how customers, analysts, investors, media, and the broader market understand our company and the success of our customers, partners, and brand. This means you'll join a small, high-performing communications team with an outsized impact on Calix's external narrative. We care deeply about craft, credibility, and quality.

This is a role for someone who wants meaningful ownership, visibility, and influence—and who takes pride in producing work that stands up to scrutiny. We're looking for someone with exceptional editorial judgment; someone who can find stories where others see only information and connect them to meaningful business outcomes. You'll absorb customer interviews, executive perspectives, product strategy, technical information, market context, and sometimes competing stakeholder viewpoints, then determine what matters, why it matters, and how to tell it. You'll own stories end-to-end, from sourcing and interviewing to drafting, executive review, publication, and coordination with our PR agency. Calix embraces the secure use of AI and agentic AI tools as part of the editorial process. We expect this role to have practical experience using approved AI tools securely and responsibly to accelerate research, story development, drafting, and revision.
