London / Chicago / New York / Hong Kong — 3rd June 2026 — Options Technology (Options), a leading provider of cloud-enabled managed services for global capital markets, today marks the second consecutive year of its summer internship programme welcoming students from the University of Cambridge, further deepening its ties to the city alongside the continued expansion of its Cambridge office.
Building on the success of last year’s initiative, the programme welcomes a new cohort of students, offering hands-on experience in financial technology and exposure to real-world projects across the business. The internships are open to students from a range of universities, with a strong cohort drawn from Cambridge reflecting the strong relationship Options has built with the institution and its students. The internships are designed to equip students with practical skills, industry insight, and a strong foundation for future careers in technology and finance. This engagement forms part of Options’ broader commitment to the Cambridge community, which also includes its ongoing sponsorship of Cambridge University’s Gaelic Athletic Club.
Options’ early careers strategy is underpinned by its multi award-winning Graduate and Placement Programme, which has been recognised across the industry for its focus on professional development, mentorship, and career progression. Celebrating 10 years in 2025, the firm was recently named Best Company to Work For (Large) at the Belfast Chamber Awards, reflecting Options’ commitment to fostering a high-performance, supportive environment for emerging talent.
Danny Moore, President and CEO of Options Technology, commented, “Marking our second year of the summer internship programme with the University of Cambridge is an important milestone for Options. It reflects our continued investment in emerging talent and our commitment to building meaningful, long-term relationships within the Cambridge community. As we expand our presence in the city, we are proud to provide students with valuable career opportunities while supporting initiatives that enhance their overall university experience.”
Deaglan Bunting, Director of People Operations and Talent at Options, added, “Following the strong success of last year’s internships, we are delighted to welcome another group of talented students this summer. These programmes are designed to give participants real responsibility, exposure to cutting-edge technologies, and a clear pathway into the industry. Our continued engagement with the university highlights the importance we place on developing future talent and fostering connections within the local community.”
Today’s announcement builds on recent milestones at Options, including its acquisition of Crossvale, its selection as the official IT provider to Team GB, and 10 years of its award-winning Graduate and Placement Programme.
