neutral  writeaway: afaik that would be a senior executive, not necessarily a manager

  -> Many mere 'cadres' ('supérieurs' or not) have no executive function at all. Like all these terms everything depends on the company ethos - and on who is writing the text. All CV-writers are 'executives'; all HR managers refer to mere 'staff'.
neutral  anidiallo: I agree with the previous comment. It would be helpful to get the name of the department

Explanation:
Habituellement, "senior management" signifie "cadre supérieur", sinon "directeur principal", dans le sens de premier directeur.
