Associates

Become an Associate

We work with a small network of sitting CTOs, fractional technology leaders and senior specialists who share our standards. Engagements fit around your existing role, and we never ask you to leave it. If you have capacity and experience of investor-backed businesses, we’d like to hear from you.

The work

What associates do

  • Technical Due Diligence

    Leading assessments for investors using our frameworks and reporting standards, with every report reviewed and signed off by Embeddable.

  • Fractional & Parachute CTO

    Senior, hands-on technology leadership for investor-backed and growing businesses, structured quarterly.

  • Advisory

    Focused, fixed-scope pieces of work, such as investment readiness or a technical audit, where your experience is the right fit.

What we look for

Associates work under the Embeddable name, so this is the experience we look for.

  • Senior experience leading technology, teams and delivery, as a CTO, Head of Engineering or equivalent
  • Depth in modern stacks and architecture, and the judgement to know which details matter
  • Clear, plain-English communication with founders, boards and investors
  • Experience of investor-backed businesses, from either side of the table; regulated-sector experience is a plus

Why we ask about conflicts

Independence is central to our work. We check every engagement for conflicts before sign-off, so we ask about board seats, shareholdings and advisory roles upfront.
