Beyond credit assessments, you’ll also contribute to core operational functions like supporting registration and certification processes, participating in collection efforts for unpaid amounts or credit violations and reconciling collateral. You’ll collaborate across departments and take on projects that give you exposure to a wide range of stakeholders in a regulated, high-impact environment.

If you thrive on detail-oriented financial work, enjoy problem-solving in a fast-moving, high-stakes setting, and want to be part of a team that safeguards critical infrastructure, this role is for you. At SPP, your analytical skills will directly support the integrity and security of the energy markets — work that truly makes a difference.
