Sales Partner (Russian & CIS Exposure Checks) Rev share, remote in Altrincham

Clear Judgment is an independent investigations and high-stakes decision support practice. I’m looking for people who have access to clients, advisors, or dealmakers who need Russian/CIS exposure checked before they make a decision. This is a specific part of the practice: Russian and CIS-linked ownership, sanctions proximity, source of funds, beneficial ownership, offshore structures, crypto attribution, and cross-border counterparty risk.

The buyer usually has a live concern: A founder, investor, seller, client, counterparty, crypto project, or company structure may have Russian/CIS exposure. The exposure may be direct, hidden, historical, denied, or unclear. They need to know what banks, investors, regulators, underwriters, counterparties, journalists, or courts may find later.

Typical situations include:

• A law firm representing a client with Russian/CIS-linked assets, counterparties, or enforcement questions.
• A private bank, payment company, exchange, or regulated business deciding whether to onboard someone.
• An investor looking at a founder, fund, asset, or company with possible CIS links.
• A family office or wealth advisor with a client having Russian/CIS source-of-wealth questions.
• A crypto business needing attribution, source-of-funds, or founder-background work.
• A PR or crisis advisory firm needing to understand reputational exposure before a client, speaker, investor, or transaction becomes public.
• An M&A, pre-IPO, or corporate finance advisor needing to know what will be flagged during diligence.

What Clear Judgment does:

• Reconstruct beneficial ownership.
• Map Russian/CIS exposure.
• Identify control points.
• Review source of funds.
• Assess sanctions and adverse-media proximity.
• Trace offshore structures.
• Connect corporate records to real people.
• Prepare findings in a format clients can actually use.

The role involves introducing qualified opportunities and helping move them toward a paid engagement. This means opening the right conversations, identifying who has a real problem, explaining where this work is useful, and getting the right person into the room. You are not expected to investigate, define methodology, create scopes, set prices, negotiate technical details, or manage delivery. I handle this. You bring access, trust, and commercial judgment.

Compensation is revenue share: 50/50 on engagements you originate and help close, paid when the client pays. Typical engagements are $3K–$15K depending on scope. Larger matters, retainers, and follow-on work are possible where the client has recurring diligence, compliance, litigation, or reputational needs.

This works best if you have warm relationships in one or more of these areas:

• Law firms, disputes, enforcement, asset recovery sanctions, KYC/EDD, AML, compliance.
• Private banking, wealth advisory, family offices.
• Crypto exchanges, OTC desks, Web3 investors, blockchain analytics.
• VC, PE, M&A, pre-IPO, corporate finance.
• PR, crisis communications, reputation advisory.
• Offshore structuring, tax, relocation, private-client advisory.
• CIS-linked business networks where trust and exposure are both relevant.

You do not need to be an investigator. You do need to understand sensitive, trust-based selling and know people who may face these questions.

This is not for you if:

• You need a fixed salary from day one.
• You only do cold outbound volume.
• You want to sell generic compliance checks.
• You do not have access to relevant clients, advisors, or referral sources.

This is for you if you know people who ask questions like:

• “Is there Russian exposure here?”
• “Who really owns or controls this company?”
• “Is this founder independent from a sanctioned or exposed asset?”
• “Will this pass bank, investor, regulator, or underwriter scrutiny?”
• “Where did the money come from?”
• “Is the disclosed structure the real structure?”
• “What will journalists, counterparties, banks, or opposing counsel find later?”

If this sounds relevant to your network, send me a short note with: the market or network you know best; one type of client you would introduce first; why they would need Russian/CIS exposure checks. No formal CV needed. I care more about access, judgment, trust, and ability to open the right doors.
