Black in Tech

Join us for a virtual career event highlighting the phenomenal career journeys of Black, African American and Latinx professionals in the technical field at SAS.

Wednesday, Dec. 8 | 5 p.m. ET

At SAS, we understand that it’s not about fitting into the culture, but adding to it.

That’s why year after year, SAS is recognized as a Best Workplace for Diversity by Fortune magazine based on our company’s values, inclusive work environment and support for career development.

Representation matters, and we are focused on ensuring that our workforce of today and tomorrow reflects the customers and communities we serve.

We also want everyone to feel confident in expressing their ideas, and to know they’re respected for their unique contributions and abilities.

If you’re looking to expand your career journey and this resonates with your values, there could be an amazing opportunity awaiting you.

Join us for a virtual career event highlighting the journeys of Black, African American and Latinx professionals in the technical field at SAS.

You’ll have a chance to hear from members of our dynamic Black Initiatives Group (BIG) and learn more about available positions while networking with leaders and our talented recruitment team.
