We're seeking an experienced animation and CGI professional to coach students looking to build or advance a career in the field. This role includes helping students develop core animation techniques and 3D modeling skills, along with more specialized areas like character design, storyboarding, motion graphics, rendering, and visual effects. Coaches also guide students through CGI production and post-production workflows, animation software proficiency, and animation direction, while helping them explore paths in film animation, game animation, and virtual reality design. Additional support includes skill building, resume and cover letter review, LinkedIn review, networking strategy, and preparation for both behavioral and technical interviews, as well as guidance on salary negotiation and freelancing for students pursuing independent work. Ideal candidates have significant professional experience in animation or CGI (studio, freelance, or a combination), prior mentoring or teaching experience, and a clear, structured approach to helping students grow their craft and their career. Coaches set their own hours and rates, host sessions virtually, and partner with our team to deliver a high-quality, supportive experience for every student.
