Is the Systems Applications Administrator IV- role on-site?

Yes — this role is on-site at the client's Alpharetta, GA location, five days per week. The client's culture and delivery cadence are calibrated around in-person collaboration for this position. Relocation support may be available for the right candidate; the recruiter will confirm during your calibration call.

Is this a contract or full-time role?

Your pay cycle (weekly or biweekly, as applicable) will be confirmed at the time of your offer. You'll also have a dedicated ApTask recruiter as your single point of contact throughout your assignment, providing ongoing support from onboarding through completion. Many of our contract opportunities are extended or converted to permanent positions based on business needs and performance. Your recruiter can share the client's historical extension and conversion trends during the interview process. Benefits, assignment duration, extension, conversion opportunities, and eligibility are subject to client requirements, business needs, and applicable plan terms.

The compensation for this Systems Applications Administrator IV- role is calibrated to market for Alpharetta, GA and the specific experience level the client is targeting.

About operations at ApTask

What this vertical looks like inside ApTask.

Operations roles at ApTask cover program management, PMO, business analysis, transformation, and change-management positions across enterprise clients. We place operators who translate strategy into delivery — PMPs, Scrum Masters, agile coaches, Six Sigma black belts, and change-management practitioners certified in Prosci or the client's preferred framework. Candidates are validated against the specific enterprise tooling the client runs (ServiceNow, Jira Portfolio, Clarity, Planview) and their prior track record in comparable-scale programs, not generic delivery experience.

How it works

What happens after you apply.

1. Verified profile
Submit your résumé and complete the ApTask identity + skills verification. We check right-to-work, background, and technical calibration once — never resell or re-verify — so future roles surface faster.
2. Recruiter calibration call
Within one business day, the recruiter who owns this requisition reviews your profile against the client's specific stack, arrangement, and start-date requirements. You'll hear back either way — no ghosting.
3. Client interview
If your profile is a fit, we present you to the hiring team. Most clients run 2-3 interview stages: hiring-manager screen, technical panel, and final. We prep you with the exact scorecard criteria before each round.
4. Offer + onboarding
On acceptance, you onboard W-2 with ApTask (contract) or direct-hire with the client (per role type). Benefits, payroll, and timesheets run through us. Your recruiter stays your point of contact for the length of the engagement.
