Enterprise Systems 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: understanding the environment, maintaining its stability, documenting decisions and changes, while following through with improvements that make operations more reliable, supportable, and scalable.

What You’ll Own

You will have operational ownership of GPV’s core enterprise systems, including:

• Virtualized compute and physical server environments
• Enterprise storage systems and SAN infrastructure
• Identity, directory, and messaging services
• Windows server and endpoint lifecycle management
• Backup, recovery, and data protection platforms
• Hybrid cloud integrations and Microsoft 365 services

Ownership includes maintaining system reliability, identifying improvement opportunities, documenting standards and changes, and executing enhancements that measurably improve day‑to‑day operations.

• A strong sense of ownership, accountability, and follow‑through
• Interest in documentation, automation, and operational improvement

Why Join the GPV IT Team

• Small, capable IT team where your work has visible and meaningful impact

• Opportunity to grow skills across a broad, real‑world systems and infrastructure stack without being siloed

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.
