Clutton Associates Ltd
Fractional engineering leadership, focused project work and coaching for technology organisations navigating transition and transformation.
Who I am
I’m Robbie Clutton, an adaptable software engineering leader, architect and manager. I’ve hired, built and run engineering organisations of more than 100 people across different verticals and markets. Through Clutton Associates I bring that experience to organisations that need senior engineering leadership without making a full-time hire.
How I can help
Every organisation is at a different point. Engagements are sized to match — from a steady fractional presence to a single focused day.
Embedded engineering leadership over a number of months — supporting an organisation through transition or transformation, from adding a product line to building a delivery competence for the first time.
One-off engagements: reviews, audits and due diligence of your idea-to-production and path-to-production value streams, training workshops, and other custom work.
Regular 45–60 minute sessions for senior leaders and high-potential individuals — a confidant and challenger for those steering, or stepping into, technical leadership.
Where I can help
Building the first MVP of a new product — for a startup, or a new initiative inside an enterprise.
Growing teams from 15 to 50 and beyond — recruiting, onboarding, pay and promotion, opening new locations, and handling downturns with care.
Adopting lean product management, user-centred design, extreme programming practices and continuous delivery.
Building teams focused on user acquisition, activation and self-service monetisation.
Iteratively modernising 20+ year-old codebases and moving to modern cloud-based deployments.

A short intro session is the easiest way to find out whether we should work together.
