Is "staff" a suitable rendering of "幹部" ?

I think so. On the staff side we have ...

Staff
2. a group of assistants to a manager, superintendent, or executive.

And on the 幹部 side we have ...

かんぶ2【幹部】 the (managing) staff
幹部会議 a staff conference [meeting]

Admittedly I'm picking and choosing the bits from the dictionaries that support my view but I still think it's OK.

Allright. I felt that "staff" includes everyone and their dog who works in a company, rather something like "職員", whereas "幹部" is a rather influential group of the management.
