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.

Reporting to our Manager of Creative Strategy and working closely with 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.
