La Masia, the legendary academy that shaped the future of soccer, isn’t just a place … it’s an ideal.
Known as “The Farmhouse,” it was the first youth academy where FC Barcelona’s scouts identified the rawest, most promising talent. These players had no prestige, only hunger and potential. There, they trained to become the best at the game.
La Masia represents a powerful commitment to nurture raw talent, regardless of status, pedigree, or background. The only criteria? Potential, grit, and a relentless drive to perform.
At CTC Global, we’re building our own La Masia … a place for fearless individuals ready to make an impact. Like the original La Masia, this isn’t about titles, degrees, or connections. It’s about pure performance and results.
We discarding the ‘traditional’ assessment of people. We won’t ask you …
Instead, you’ll be judged solely by your impact, results, and ability to elevate our team and clients.
This ethos isn’t just a tagline … it’s a promise.
And, we’re backing up that promise by publically publishing client results monthly. If there’s ever a question about our quality, the numbers will speak for us.
If you’re good enough, you’re old enough. In our La Masia, it’s your drive, adaptability, and results that define your worth.
We’re building something unique here at CTC Global … something unlike anything we’ve done at the enterprise level. This is a place for those who are ready to take their shot and prove, month after month, that they have what it takes to redefine the game.
“I am just trying to find more ‘Joys’ in the world, and help them achieve what I did … faster than it took me to get here.”
We’re seeking a special kind of individual to join us … a critical thinker with the skills and mindset to thrive in an environment that values results over titles.
We are looking for people who possess the following …
Skills
Traits
Of course, this isn’t for everyone. We’re not just looking for just smart people or just hungry people … we want both.
These individuals are unicorns … those whose past roles might not directly predict their excellence here but who are driven, naturally intelligent, and relentlessly hard-working.
If you see yourself in this group — someone smart, hungry, and ready to break the mold — then we want to meet you.
Apply for the interview, and let’s see if you’re ready to join us.
If you believe you are the hardest-working person you know, if you’re someone who’s never satisfied without growth in your career … this is for you.
We offer a clear path, built on a structured system that requires a massive commitment. But on the other side, like any great program, you’ll emerge transformed … one of the elites who can walk into any business, and make a profound impact.
“The ability to impact a business right away … feeling the joy of that happening is special to me. In my first month on job, I was able to apply these principles and grow a business from $70k to $150k in 30 days.”
– An Accelerator Strategist
Here, you’ll also develop character traits that reflect CTC’s standards. As one of our Strategists put it:
“This really keeps me accountable as the standard of people is so high so it forces you to perform. Just the table stakes are excellence and anything less than that is banished so it makes you be excellent, makes you disciplined and self-aware which are important qualities for me.”
– Another Accelerator Strategist
At CTC, we keep pushing the boundaries … developing new, industry-changing tools each year, and instilling everyone here with more skills and opportunities. The first year will demand the most from you, but even beyond that, you’ll continue evolving, directly contributing to the next phase of innovation.
Excellence is non-negotiable.
Achieving this level of impact elsewhere would require heavily investing in mentors and training programs, only to fall short without the benefit of real-world application.
Here, you’re not limited by the experiences of a single company. Instead, you gain exposure to an entire industry, compressing years of growth into a fraction of the time. With CTC’s brand recognition, clients trust you from day one, allowing you to make an immediate impact.
The growth here is rapid, and the learning is exponential.
You’ll work hard wherever you go, but only here will you be surrounded by top talent, handling high-caliber clients who challenge you every day, operating at a pace that would take years to achieve in any other role.
This environment instills discipline, accountability, and standards that push you further than any other role could. The sacrifice is real, but so are the rewards … unmatched expertise, influence, and income potential.
The application deadline is November 30th, 2024
With just two open positions this November and hundreds of applications, our hiring process is highly selective. This is the final hiring round of the year … the last chance to secure a role where the demand is high, but the opportunity is rare.
Apply NowIf you truly embody our values, with the will and resilience to overcome any challenge, and a hunger to learn, this path is for you. In six months, you won’t recognize yourself … this journey transforms those who embrace it, and it’s impossible to understand the depth of growth until you’ve lived it.
If your goals align with everything we’ve outlined above, this is the fastest way to achieve them.
Our guarantee is simple: you won’t find a better career option for someone with your ambition and potential. In your first six months, if you don’t feel you’ve mastered our core principles, I’ll personally coach you until you do. If, after three months, you don’t see meaningful growth in your skills and character, I’ll work with you to create a one-on-one development roadmap.
“This is gonna be the hardest you ever worked … you’ll grow faster than you ever have. And you’ll continue to learn from the best in the industry, as we keep building leading innovations.“
If you’re reading this, you’re likely searching for something beyond the usual job. Maybe you’re tired of feeling underutilized, undervalued, or stuck in roles that don’t tap into your full potential. Perhaps you’ve felt overlooked … or maybe you just crave a role that lets you make a real impact.
Here’s what some of our team members left behind … and what they found when they joined CTC:
I felt like I was wasting potential.
In my old job, I’d finish my tasks in half the time, which left me procrastinating with nothing to push me forward. I realized I needed more than a routine job. I needed a place that challenged me.
When I saw CTC’s approach, I was struck by how they tackled problems in ways no one else did. I knew that if I wanted to grow fast, this was the place I needed to go next. Now, I’m surrounded by smart, driven people I no longer have to reach out to — they’re right here, and those conversations are part of my day-to-day life.
If you want to learn ecommerce, working in an agency like CTC is invaluable …
… it accelerates growth, compressing years of experience into months.
I am growing faster than ever. The same outcomes would have taken me longer on any other path. CTC’s mental models and philosophies are a university in themselves, so even fresh Uni grads should work here.
The experience is transformative.
CTC is structured for improvement, and you get to learn methodically, becoming better every day. The truth is, after this experience, you can do anything.
My previous job was a dead-end for my talent. I was stuck in a role that didn’t use my full potential and I just started feeling lazy, so I made the jump to CTC.
It’s been a total transformation. My friends now think I’ve 'got my act together,' and even joke about how I must be rich. My family, though they don’t fully understand what I do, see the positive change and are proud. It’s fun to brag about where I work now, especially since CTC is unknown in some circles. I just say, ‘We’re the biggest in the game, buddy,’ and they get it.
Being here is like night and day compared to my last job. I now work with better clients, top-tier companies, and a high-quality environment that I’ve come to really value. And there’s no pretending here.
At my last agency, I had to ‘spin’ things to make us look good, which I hated. Here, I get to be honest with clients and still do impactful, well-compensated work.
It’s real work, real results, and real growth.
I used to think creative strategy was the best route to success, as I didn’t even understand what growth strategy was. After joining the team, I learned really fast that growth strategy is the highest level you could be in if you want to work with an ecomm. business and grow fast.
Before joining, I felt my work wasn’t making the impact I wanted.
I discovered CTC on YouTube while trying to solve a specific issue, and I remember thinking, ‘Why are these the only people talking about these deeper ideas?’
That’s when I knew CTC was where I could make a real impact.
I’d been at a nine-figure company before, where bureaucracy slows everything down. Here, I cut through that and make a direct impact every day.
For those who care about impact, CTC is the place to be. Here, we’re not just making ecommerce more efficient … we’re shaping its future.
CTC has a system backed by intelligent people, a well-thought-out process, and countless opportunities to learn methodically. I remember seeing the results of my work within 30 days of joining, and that rush of accomplishment hasn’t faded. If you follow what CTC teaches, you’ll see the positive impact in your clients’ lives almost immediately … that’s a level of fulfillment I never had before.
If you’re done with narrow roles that limit your growth, and you’re ready for a career that rewards real hard work with tangible results, CTC could be the step you need. It’s a place where you can bring ideas to life, skip the red tape, and shape businesses in ways that truly matter.
CTC isn’t for everyone … it’s only for people who would be disappointed to look back in 3–6 months and realize they hadn’t grown professionally.
If you resonate with this, and if you’re ready to be part of something transformative, apply now and join a team that’s building the future of ecommerce … one impactful client at a time.
