Yes...

Is there a way to accomplish the need?

Not sure I understood all requirement, but I will give an example I do for a dept here:
Statisticians in groupA should be able to execute and modify files of statisticians in GroupB but they are should not see what is in DirB of groupB except the files they know of
I use a common directory DirC, put the executables and files in that directory with 664perms for the data files group owner GroupB, 755 for the executables and and 711 perms for DirC with a statistician of GroupB as owner and responsible for content of this directory...
The use of 711 on directory makes its content unreadable except for the owner, but if you know what is there e.g. a. executable like a script and you have the right to execute or modify, you can do so, but you have no ways to see what else is in that directory...
(just in case I was not clear, The GID of the files in this directory are set to GroupB)

NAME

       epminstall - add a directory, file, or symlink to a list file.

SYNOPSIS

       epminstall options file1 file2 ... fileN directory
       epminstall options file1 file2
       epminstall options -d directory1 directory2 ... directoryN

DESCRIPTION

       epminstall  adds  or replaces a directory, file, or symlink in a list file. The default list file is "epm.list" and can be overridden using
       the EPMLIST environment variable or the --list-file option.

       Entries are either added to the end of the list file or replaced in-line. Comments, directives, and variable declarations in the list  file
       are preserved.

OPTIONS

       epminstall recognizes the standard Berkeley install command options:

       -b
	    Make a backup of existing files (ignored, default for EPM.)

       -c
	    BSD old compatibility mode (ignored.)

       -g group
	    Set the group owner of the file or directory to group. The default group is "sys".

       -m mode
	    Set  the  permissions of the file or directory to mode. The default permissions are 0755 for directories and executable files and 0644
	    for non-executable files.

       -o owner
	    Set the owner of the file or directory to owner. The default owner is "root".

       -s
	    Strip the files (ignored, default for EPM.)

       --list-file filename.list
	    Specify the list file to update.
