I like this one too, although the comments of our fellow translators also helped. I think there must be an overall Marketing Director, then perhaps below him/her a Sales Manager and then the Sales Personnel who do the direct transactions with clients. Thanks a lot.

Sometimes a director has different managers from different divisions. Usually \"gerente\" or \"gestor\" is manager.

marketing manager


Explanation:
I would lean more towards "marketing" without any hesitation. My doubt concerns "manager" or "director" because you can have both depending on the person's position on the hierarchical ladder

Head of the business/marketing department


Explanation:
just another suggestion, gets by the discussion manager vs. director (confusing from a legal/commercial standpoint), and leaves it clear it's the top officer in this sector.
