You need to create a gpm.service file for systemd. Fortunately the
syntax is quite simple. Here's the one I use:

[Unit]
Description=gpm console mouse service

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/input/mice -t imps2
Type=forking
PIDFile=/run/gpm.pid

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Put it in /etc/systemd/system.
