OmniAccess is a leading managed service provider of premium connectivity, networking and cyber solutions. From our headquarter in Palma de Mallorca we cater services for superyachts, boutique cruise and research vessels, with a very strong commitment to service quality & availability. As part of our integral end-to end solutions, we design, implement and support onboard IT networks, bandwidth management tools and cyber security services, all aimed at providing our clients with premium digital solutions and the best possible user experience.

In 2018, OmniAccess joined forces with the Marlink Group. Marlink is a managed service provider and global leader in remote ICT solutions with annual revenues surpassing $800 million and 1,500 employees operating in more than 30 countries.

Wherever our customers are in the world, we deliver them possibilities to work smarter and to operate more effectively, more safely, more sustainably - without the limitations of technology.

With our possibility platform, we enable a comprehensive suite of end-to-end managed solutions (Connectivity, Network, Cyber Security, Cloud & IT, IoT & Apps), supported by professional services, unmatched global operations and delivery capabilities and local support teams.

As a global company with a local focus, we help make tomorrow’s possibilities today’s realities.

This strategic partnership has enabled us to expand our reach and capabilities, offering our clients an even broader range of innovative digital solutions and unparalleled support.

At OmniAccess, our vision is bold and clear: to deliver possibilities anywhere, empower innovation everywhere, and shape the future of maritime digital solutions.

Role Purpose:

Marlink Group is seeking a dynamic Product Architect: Network & Platform to shape and deliver the Network and Platform domains of the Possibility Portfolio. The scope spans Marlink's Edge infrastructure (CPE) and orchestration framework, and the network services that run on it — SD-WAN, LAN/Wi‑Fi, bandwidth optimisation, QoS/QoE, and Network Access — across maritime and enterprise environments.

This is a hybrid role between product management and engineering. It is the bridge between business expectations and technical feasibility, and it works in both directions: shaping the products in the category into clear, sellable propositions, and driving their technical execution — requirements, coordination of teams, and proofs of concept.

The role is customer‑centric at its core. It starts from what customers need and how they buy and use our services, keeps that perspective present in every architecture and roadmap decision, and stays close to BUs and customers to make sure what we build is what the market values.

Key Responsibilities:

• Shape the products in the Network & Platform category into clearly defined, sellable propositions — scope, tiers, packaging, and differentiation.
• Work with Pricing, Commercial and BU teams to turn cost and capability drivers into viable pricing and margin structures.
• Provide the technical substance behind go‑to‑market materials — value propositions, capability descriptions, and positioning.
• Support BU pre‑sales and solution reviews, and feed recurring customer requirements back into the roadmap.

2. Requirements & Feasibility

• Turn product requirements into precise technical specifications — the quality gate between product intent and engineering execution.
• Validate feasibility of roadmap commitments with Group Engineering before sign‑off.
• Translate engineering constraints and trade‑offs into product implications for the Head of Product and governance forums.

3. Reference Architecture

• Own and maintain the Network & Platform reference architecture — CPE, orchestration and service onboarding; SD‑WAN, LAN/Wi‑Fi, WAN optimisation, QoS/QoE and Network Access — co‑defined with Group Engineering.
• Define the integration requirements that let Connectivity, Cloud & IT, Cyber and IoT services deploy consistently through the platform.
• Maintain architecture documentation, design standards and capability catalogues as shared Group standards.

4. Technical Execution & Team Coordination

• Drive product initiatives from requirement to release, coordinating across Group Engineering, IT, Cybersecurity and BU technical teams.
• Sequence dependencies between network and platform workstreams; surface conflicts and trade‑offs early.
• Act as the technical reference point during implementation, resolving ambiguity and arbitrating design decisions against product intent.
• Track delivery against roadmap commitments and report status and risks into governance.

5. Governance & BU Engagement

• Set architecture standards and ensure BU implementations conform to Possibility Portfolio guardrails.
• Engage BU product and technical teams regularly to capture local and customer requirements and feed them into the global roadmap.

6. Innovation & Proof of Concept

• Track emerging technologies — edge computing, virtualisation, AI‑driven operations and SD‑WAN, SASE, intent‑based networking — and market and customer trends relevant to the portfolio.
• Run proof‑of‑concept initiatives with Engineering to validate new capabilities, technically and commercially, before roadmap commitment.
• Define what each PoC must prove and convert the outcome into a clear recommendation: proceed, adapt, or stop.

Success Outcomes:

• Products in the category are clearly defined, commercially coherent and ready to sell.
• Roadmap commitments are consistently feasibility‑validated before sign‑off.
• Initiatives move from requirement to release with dependencies managed and without avoidable rework.
• The reference architecture is the recognised standard across Group Engineering and BU teams, with reduced variance across Business Units.
• New capabilities are validated through structured PoCs before commitment.

Skills & Experience:

The Hybrid Profile

• Track record at the boundary of product and engineering — a PM with deep architecture exposure, a Solutions Architect who moved into product, or a Network/Technical Lead with commercial instincts.
• Able to write a product requirement, review a design, and defend a commercial construct with equal rigour.
• Customer-oriented: understands customer needs and translates them into product and architecture decisions.
• Comfortable engaging commercial, portfolio and engineering stakeholders in the same working day, and coordinating teams without direct authority.

Technical Depth

• Solid understanding of SD‑WAN, LAN/Wi‑Fi, QoS/QoE, routing protocols (BGP, OSPF) and multi‑access WAN architectures.
• Solid understanding of edge computing, CPE, virtualisation, container orchestration and service lifecycle automation.
• Knowledge of SASE, SSE and ZTNA as applied to managed network services and security at the edge.
• Familiarity with satellite communications (VSAT, LEO) and their network integration considerations.
• Working knowledge of TM Forum frameworks (eTOM, SID, Open APIs).
• Working knowledge of how AI/ML integrates into edge and network products — deployment patterns, inference at the edge vs. cloud, cost/latency trade‑offs, and observability.

Commercial Capability

• Experience productizing technical capability into sellable managed services — scope, tiering, packaging, positioning.
• Understands the cost and margin drivers of managed services and works constructively with Pricing and Commercial functions.
• Articulates technical differentiation in terms customers and commercial audiences act on.

Industry & Context

• Background in MSP, telecommunications, network services, managed connectivity, cloud or digital infrastructure.
• Exposure to maritime, mobility, energy or remote enterprise operations is strongly preferred.
• Experience in matrix organisations, influencing BU and cross‑functional teams without direct authority.
• Full‑time, permanent position with competitive salary
• Annual performance bonus based on individual and company achievements.
• Hybrid model: possibility of two days per week of teleworking.
• Continuous training and growth opportunities as the company expands.
• Career Growth:An opportunity to work in a high‑growth area within a leading network solutions provider.
• Innovation-Driven Environment:Be part of Marlink’s commitment to delivering next‑generation solutions in connectivity and digital transformation.
• Global Exposure:Work with diverse, talented teams across different regions and sectors.
• Professional Development:Access to training, conferences, and resources to enhance skills and knowledge.
