Performance Creative Video Editor (Paid Social)

Cometeer • New York, NY

15d • Onsite

About The Position

We’re looking for a 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. Working closely with our Manager of Creative Strategy and Brand & Partnerships Manager, you’ll turn raw footage, creator assets, and briefs into polished 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, and you’re eager to grow your skillset in performance creative strategy, learning how to translate insights into smarter tests and stronger iterations over time.
If you love coffee and enjoy working at the intersection of brand, performance, and content, you’ll thrive here.

Requirements

• 2-5 years of experience editing short-form paid social content for Meta/TikTok ad campaigns
• 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)

Responsibilities

• 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 10–20 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
• 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
• 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
• 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
