About the Role
GPV is seeking an Enterprise Systems Administrator who values ownership, stability, and continuous improvement.

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.

Enterprise systems are stable, reliable, and well-maintained Changes are implemented thoughtfully, documented properly, and introduce minimal risk Manual effort decreases over time through better processes and targeted automation Knowledge is documented and shared, improving consistency and supportability Systems evolve steadily alongside GPV's business needs Why Join the GPV IT Team
Small, capable IT team where your work has visible and meaningful impact Clear ownership of enterprise systems and the ability to influence how they are operated and improved Balanced focus on stability, reliability, and thoughtful modernization 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.
