English term or phrase: Catering Sales Manager
Hello -- What would this title be in French? The person is female and the hotel in question already translates "Catering" as "Service de traiteur" in its other documentation. The challenge is that this person reports to the "Directeur des ventes et du marketing", and so she can't be a "directrice"... And the hotel also has "Sales Coordinator" positions. So would she be "Responsable des ventes de traiteur" (i.e., does "Responsable" sound a little higher in the hierarchy than "Coordonnateur"), or would something else be more logical? *Canadian French please.* Thanks very much.

Somehow "Responsable commercial" does not sound Canadian enough to me so I ended up going with "Gestionnaire des ventes" instead. However many thanks to everyone for the input and brainstorming.

@ Steven: Comme c'est un commerce, il est sous-entendu que c'est 'commerical'. Dans une compagnnie, il y a le/la/les propriétaire(s), un(e) gérant(e) et un(e) responsable de l'événement de la journée au point X. Il y aurait un(e) autre responsable pour un autre événement au point Y. Ici, le/la gérante est le/la responsable du servide de traiteur; le/la responsable détermine qui sera cette persone aux points X, Y, etc.

Notes to answerer
Asker: 1045: Je ne suis pas certain non plus de "commercial" pour l'instant, mais une chose, cette personne est responsable de vendre le service mais pas du tout pour le fournir le jour de l'événement, donc il faudrait faire la distinction d'une manière ou d'une autre n'est-ce pas? Merci beaucoup de votre aide! - SD
