Dynamic DL or group based on org hierarchy?

Is there a way to create a dynamic DL or group based on org hierarchy? For example if the Global HR Director wants to communicate to everyone in HR... As of right now because of a recent acquisition...

If you need a dynamic DL, those exist only in Exchange Online (not Azure AD) and you must use the Exchange cmdlets:

 

New-DynamicDistributionGroup manager -RecipientFilter {(Manager -eq 'CN=user,OU=tenant.onmicrosoft.com,OU=Microsoft Exchange Hosted Organizations,DC=EURPR03A001,DC=prod,DC=outlook,DC=com') -and (RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox')}

where you need to provide the full DN of the manager.

 

VasilMichev- you can do it in Azure AD with the 'modern DL' called Office365 Groups haha using Microsoft verbiage here!

I know you can, but using dynamic membership for "modern" groups is *paid* functionality, as in requires Azure AD Premium licensing. While using good old fashioned dynamic DGs in Exchange Online is free.
