Job description

About Cometeer

Cometeer is revolutionizing the coffee industry with a game-changing, patented technology that delivers unparalleled convenience, quality, and flavor. We brew specialty coffee at 10x strength using beans from the world's top roasters, then flash-freeze it at peak freshness to lock in every nuanced flavor note.

The result? A revolutionary coffee experience where anyone can enjoy barista-quality coffee in seconds, simply by melting a frozen puck. No machines. No mess. No compromises.

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced, detail-oriented, creative, and performance-minded Paid Social Video Editor to join our Growth Marketing team and help scale standout, high-converting video ads across Meta (Facebook/Instagram), YouTube, and beyond.

This is a performance-driven role. We're specifically seeking someone who has edited short-form video ads for live Meta and/or TikTok campaigns and understands how creative decisions impact performance.

Working closely with our Manager of Creative Strategy and our Senior Manager of Brand & Partnerships Marketing, you'll turn raw footage, creator assets, and briefs into polished, conversion-focused video creatives - iterating quickly, testing relentlessly, and elevating every frame for performance.

You'll be instrumental in building a steady pipeline of thumb-stopping ads: crafting strong hooks, tightening pacing, designing clean motion graphics, and adapting edits for multiple placements (Stories/Reels/Feed, Shorts, in-stream). You're a strong editor with a sharp eye for detail and a solid understanding of what drives results in paid social, eager to translate performance insights into smarter tests and stronger iterations.

If you love coffee and enjoy working at the intersection of brand, performance, and content, you'll thrive here.

What You'll Do

Paid Social Video Ad Editing - 60%

  • Partner with our Manager of Creative Strategy to turn performance insights into high-performing paid social video ads for Meta, YouTube, and emerging channels
  • Craft conversion-focused edits with strong hooks, pacing, storytelling, and clear CTAs
  • Deliver 1020 weekly creative assets based on performance insights (70% net-new, 30% iterations)
  • Take high-production RAW camera footage from delivery to edit-ready. Transcoding, syncing, organizing, and building optimized working files/proxies so assets are workable for paid social
  • Translate creative briefs, loose concepts, and raw footage into high-performing paid social edits - executing with precision when direction is clear and taking ownership when it isn't
  • Add design and copy support (on-screen text, captions, simple motion) to improve clarity and conversion

Creative Strategy Support - 30%

  • Proactively translate data learnings into creative iterations (strong hooks, messaging hierarchy, on-screen text, VO, proof points, CTA, length)
  • Collaborate with the rest of the Growth team to brainstorm creative concepts and iterations for paid social
  • Maintain clean project organization, naming conventions, and efficient workflows

Brand & Social Editing - 10%

  • Collaborate with the Marketing team to edit polished, high-production branded content from creator footage, in-office captures, and photoshoots - owning video deliverables for brand campaigns like product launches, partnerships, and more
  • Maintain consistent brand tone, look, and feel across all content
  • Bring fresh visual ideas and editing techniques that elevate the perception of the brand in the specialty coffee space

Supporting Responsibilities

  • Occasionally assist with small, lightweight in-office video shoots - helping capture simple, high-utility footage that supports our paid social pipeline and sparks new creative tests

What We're Looking For

  • 2-5 years of experience editing short-form paid social content for Meta/TikTok ad campaigns
  • Fluency in paid social performance metrics
  • Demonstrated ability to produce high-volume variations and recuts for active campaigns
  • Strong instincts in pacing, rhythm, motion, and narrative clarity
  • Baseline fluency in Premiere, After Effects, and Figma (preferred but not required)
  • Light graphic design and copywriting ability
  • Comfortable operating within weekly testing cadences
  • Interest in brand storytelling and performance marketing
  • Passion for internet culture, digital storytelling - and bonus points if you love coffee
  • Ability to work on-site in our NY office four days per week (Thursdays - remote)

Why Join Cometeer

  • Make a direct impact: your edits will be tested, learned from, and scaled across Meta, YouTube, and emerging platforms
  • Join a passionate team building a category-defining brand and help bring it to life through high-performing video creative
  • We value curiosity, ownership, and collaboration
  • Oh, and you'll be caffeinated with the world's best coffee - just melt and sip

Comprehensive Benefits & Perks Package

  • Health Insurance: Full medical, dental, and vision plans with competitive coverage options. Cometeer pays for ~80% of your medical insurance plan!
  • HSA & FSA available
  • 401(k) with Company Match: We invest in your future with a matching contribution up to 4%
  • Paid Time Off: Generous PTO policy including 20 days of annually accrued PTO and 12 holidays
  • Parental Leave: Generous paid parental leave policy, including 8 weeks at full pay; an additional 8 weeks of short-term disability leave at full pay for delivery & recovery
  • Wellness Resources: Resources to keep you at your best, from Fitness Discounts, to Mental Health Support, Financial and Legal Counseling
  • Free coffee when you're at work and discounts for your at-home subscription

Final compensation will be determined based on experience and level, within the range listed.
