The Documentation team is responsible for providing SAS customers with all the information that they need to be successful with our software. This content covers every aspect of the software lifecycle, from installation, to onboarding, to data management, to advanced analytics and visual reporting. Our users are interacting with our documentation in evolving patterns as Generative AI disrupts our industry. We’ve embarked on an ambitious program of modernization to respond to these changes.

• Write documentation. Be assigned work items, interview subject matter experts, draft content, respond to reviews, and ultimately publish the final version to our customers.
• Participate in AI‑powered innovation. Monitor industry trends, recommend and test ways in which SAS can leverage AI both to increase the efficiency of developing our content and to streamline the customer’s experience with using the content.
• Develop internal training materials. Part of our modernization push is to lower the barrier for content creation for non‑expert writers. Working with our in‑house experts, develop reference materials for these new tasks and processes.
• Contribute to multimedia (video, graphics, flowcharts, and so on) process improvement. Increasingly, users want their information in a format that suits their learning style. To modernize, we must enhance our multimedia output with improved tools and processes.
