Options Technology to expand its workforce in Belfast
Options Technology, a provider of cloud-enabled managed services to the global financial sector, today announced its plans to create 200 new jobs in Belfast over the next three years.
The rapidly growing company, headquartered in the heart of Belfast City Centre’s Linen Loft building, is making significant strides in expanding its operations.
After successfully adding 100 new team members to its Belfast offices in the last 12 months, Options continues to execute its long-term growth strategy, reinforcing its commitment to the region. The company remains steadfast in its focus on recruiting high-quality graduates and engineering professionals, strengthening its ties with local academic institutions.
Danny Moore, President and CEO of Options, commented:
“Our decision to expand our workforce in Belfast reflects the exceptional talent we’ve found in this vibrant city. We are proud to continue investing in the local community and provide opportunities for ambitious young professionals, regardless of their course of study.
The last two years has seen Options invest in our largest-ever intake of new graduates and placement students, cementing our reputation as one the most exciting tech employers in the sector. Our programme offers graduates the chance to forge a career at the intersection of financial technology and capital markets, and I would encourage all graduates, to apply.”
To tap into diverse talent pools, Options has widened its recruitment net to include engineering apprentices and talented individuals who have completed their A-Levels. The firm has a rich history of nurturing talent, with over a quarter of the hires in the last 12 months being placement students. Options remains committed to building upon these figures in the coming years, fostering emerging talent and creating a pathway to successful careers in the tech industry.
Graduates hired in Belfast can expect an immersive training experience, spending up to three months in each of the company’s global hubs, including London, New York, Chicago, Toronto, Paris, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Auckland.
Options is proud to collaborate with prestigious institutions such as Queen’s University Belfast, Ulster University, and Belfast Metropolitan College in its commitment to developing the workforce of tomorrow through placement students and apprenticeships.
The official launch of Options’ Graduate & Placement Programme is scheduled for Wednesday, October 18th, 2023, at The National in Belfast. This initiative further underscores Options’ dedication to shaping the future of technology through talent development and innovation.
