Administration and Managment
Explanation:
This is one possibility. I have also seen people refer to gerencia as middle maagement which might be another option.

Administration is also synonymous with direction and mangement and therefore is not necessarily inferior, it depends on the context.

Notes to answerer
Asker: The person in charge for "dirección" is the Director, and the person in charge for "gerencia" is the Manager... Administration sounds inferior... what do you think??

Directorate and Management


Explanation:
Depends on how the organigram is set out - if you have to use the word department, then I'd use Administration Department and Management Department, as Justin suggests, but another option is to just say "Directorate".
Another possibility could be Planning or Strategy Department for "Dirección", provided that is what the department does.
Hope this helps,
Helen

Senior Officers and Management


Explanation:
Senior Officers usually incude such positions as the President, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Operating Officer (COO), Chief Finance Officer (CFO), Treasurer, etc...

DirecciOn could refer to the Board of Directors, but in this case probably not, as the asker indicates it as a department of the company. DirecciOn certainly is above Gerencia.
