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 own stories end-to-end, from sourcing and interviewing to drafting, executive review, publication, and coordination with our PR agency.
