You don't need to have come from it, but you must get what motivates studio owners and artists - and care deeply about helping them succeed.   Experience using AI tools to accelerate work or improve operational efficiency.   Why This Role Matters   Coaches are the human face of the DSOA Inner Circle. When Inner Circle members feel supported by expert, engaged coaches, they stay, upgrade, and advocate for the community.
