Supervisor of Modeling and Data Integrity Salary range: $112,240 - $145,810

Overview
The Supervisor of Data Integrity leads a skilled team dedicated to delivering the technical and analytical support that keeps SPP's Reliability Coordination, Market Operations, and Balancing Authority functions running smoothly. This group plays a pivotal role in ensuring that near real-time operational data-such as SCADA and ICCP-remains accurate, reliable, and ready for use across SPP's operational systems. Because this data directly supports time-sensitive decision making, the work often requires clear thinking and confident judgment, even in high-pressure situations. Beyond real-time data assurance, the team contributes to the development, implementation, and ongoing improvement of engineering applications, processes, and tools that power SPP's operational capabilities. The Supervisor works closely with the Manager of Modeling & Data Integrity to align objectives, emerging needs, and strategic priorities. The role includes guiding the team through purposeful development planning, real-time coaching, and thoughtful performance reviews. In this position, the Supervisor directly supports SPP's Strategic Plan, with an emphasis on strengthening reliability and future-grid readiness, improving market efficiency, and advancing the success of Markets+ onboarding.
