About Big Happy
What is Big Happy?
Big Happy is a creative-first advertising technology company. Its homepage describes "an end-to-end platform, handling everything from creative development to media activation and campaign measurement" for mobile and digital out-of-home (DOOH) screens, and says its ads are served on "over 1 million screens across North America". The about page says Big Happy "was created by a group of media buyers and mobile ad tech champions who wanted to revolutionize the world of mobile advertising". A June 2025 press post on its own site says its mobile business "serves over 300 brands" and announces a 3D DOOH business led by Gabby Stoller, and the leadership page names Jonathan Frohlinger as CEO.
Where will I work?
The website's contact address is 28 W 44th St, Ste 900, New York, NY 10036, in Midtown Manhattan. The US careers page lists New York, NY and Chicago, IL under "Where we're located", and the New York adverts read "Hybrid - NYC (Midtown) - 3 days in Office" or "Hybrid (3 days in-office) in NYC". The supply operations advert is "Remote in the United States, except for candidates within commuting distance of our NYC or Chicago offices, where this opportunity is hybrid with 3 days in office." A separate India careers page lists Chandigarh and Pune, and seven of the eleven live adverts on 12 November 2026 are India roles (front-end, DevOps, security, data engineering, 2D and 3D animation and art). Their benefits text differs from the US one: it has no Half Day Fridays line and no unlimited PTO. Two of the US adverts say applicants must be authorized to work in the United States and that Big Happy cannot sponsor visas.
What is the Big Happy team like?
The about page lists six values: "We Think Big", "Learn and Be Curious", "Always Be Communicating", "We Take Ownership", "Creativity is Our DNA" and "Big Happy Love (BHL)". It adds: "We're always happy to chat with passionate people who want to be part of our team, even if you don't meet all job requirements." The leadership page names five executives (CEO, CRO, COO, Head of Design and SVP Client Services), a 2026 advisory board of ten and a four-person board of directors. The four US adverts cover account management, supply partnerships and operations, partnership marketing and sales leadership, so the US work on offer is client-facing sales, campaign and supply-partner operations; the Sales Director advert is for a leader who will "lead a team of 3-4 sellers" covering client-direct brands alongside agencies.
Work-Life Balance
Four US adverts, in account management, supply operations, partnership marketing and sales leadership, list "Half Day Fridays (excluding Q4)" or "Half Day Fridays (except Q4)" among the benefits. No Big Happy page says when the half day ends or whether weekly hours fall, and the same adverts describe the role as a "Full-time position with a competitive base salary", so the hours are not stated. The same four adverts list "Unlimited PTO" followed by "take what you need", the US careers page lists "Unlimited PTO" and the about page "Unlimited Vacation", both with the line "Big Happy places a high level of trust in employees to manage their own time and responsibilities." The India careers page describes a different package ("Our flexible time-off policy and work-from-home options empower employees to manage their schedules effectively"), and none of the seven India adverts mentions a half-day Friday. No core hours or flexitime are stated anywhere.
