Brand Content Producer

30hop Group is seeking a full-time Brand Content Producer to join our team! We’re looking for a creative storyteller who is genuinely good with a camera and knows how to capture authentic moments through photo and video.

You’ll produce content from inside our restaurants and the communities we serve across 30hop, Tribute Eatery & Bar, and Iowa Athletic Club, so what people see online is recognizably the same brand they experience when they walk through our doors.

30hop Group is a growing Midwest restaurant group behind three distinct brands: 30hop, with six locations and two more planned for 2027; Tribute Eatery & Bar, with two locations; and Iowa Athletic Club. Our restaurants span across Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri, with more growth ahead.

As our Brand Content Producer, you’ll help shape how these brands show up and tell their stories. We’re focused on creating content for people, not algorithms. Original, well-made work that feels unmistakably ours. That could mean developing long-form video and YouTube stories, capturing the energy inside our restaurants, or turning everyday moments with our food, teams, and guests into compelling social content.

If you’re a hands-on creator who wants the freedom to make distinctive work and see it come to life across growing restaurant brands, this is an opportunity to have a real creative impact.
