Enterprise Systems IT Administrator

Enterprise Systems IT Administrator

Hands-On Ownership. Real Impact. Enterprise-Scale Systems.

About the Role

GPV is seeking an Enterprise Systems Administrator who values ownership, stability, and continuous improvement. This is a hands-on role focused on the operational health, reliability, and evolution of core enterprise systems that support GPV and its subsidiaries across the United States and Australia.

You will work primarily within on‑premise and hybrid cloud environments, partnering closely with IT leadership while taking day‑to‑day ownership of systems and services. This role is onsite and based in Wichita, KS and is not a remote position. We are not pursuing remote hires for this role, as close collaboration with systems, stakeholders, and facilities is essential.

This position is well suited for an experienced systems administrator who enjoys understanding platforms end‑to‑end, maintaining their health, and improving how they are operated over time—without constant re‑architecture or role ambiguity.

At GPV, ownership means leading by understanding the environment, maintaining its stability, documenting decisions and changes, while following through with improvements that make operations more reliable, supportable, and scalable.

GPV believes in long‑term partnership with its employees and reinvesting in the people who support the business. One key differentiators is our annual employee profit sharing; when the company performs well, employees directly share in that success.

GPV also provides a strong foundation of employer‑funded benefits, including a 3% 401(k) safe‑harbor contribution regardless of employee contribution, company‑paid life and disability coverage, and comprehensive health and wellness programs.

GPV’s benefits and profit‑sharing model reflect a culture built around trust, shared success, and long‑term thinking rather than short‑term incentives.

This role is ideal for an experienced systems administrator who values ownership, enjoys hands‑on operational responsibility, and wants to build a career with an organization that invests in both its systems and its people.
