As in the section of the website where sales activities/events are promoted and managed. I prefer "events" over "activities" because this is more in line with marketing strategies.

could also be SALES PROMOTIONS-
Note:It's obviously a sales component of the site to be
managed and the other word needed alongside "sales" whether it be "events," "activities," "promotions," etc., I think needs to be a word that's accessible to the reader(vs a word that's used among insiders)

sales presentation
Eurodicautom says commercial or sales promotion but I actually prefer presentation in this context. Basically, their job will be to manage the content of this particular area of the company's website.

sales/marketing activities
Maybe it's just a tic, but I always use "sales/marketing" for commercial. It's not just sales and it's not just marketing...

: this is in line with what I think on the subject--and you're right about "commercial" in that it implies more than simply sales as it includes marketing, etc.

manage
"We would manage the "news" portion of the site"
I think they should be more specific so we understand what they mean(i.e. would they be responsible for providing content and updates?). Otherwise they are basically saying that they are "managing" that portion of the site, whatever that entails.
