About the RoleOrganika is seeking a commercially minded finance leader to embed financial discipline in customer planning and execution.

Own the end-to-end Costco P&L and monthly bridge from gross sales to net contribution.
Track permanent items, rotations, markdowns, rebates, freight, deductions and customer commitments against plan and latest estimate.
