Absolutely a domain can be owned by a organisational entity as opposed to an individual person, this in fact the most common type of domain name registration and it isn't a specific service that is needed for it.

When you register for the domain name most registrars will ask you if it is for an individual or for a business and will provide a field for you to enter the organisation name. There are rules around having a first name and last name on record as the domain owner but that can be anyone at all and many companies (including my own) choose to use a psuedo-name such as First Name: Officer In Charge, Last Name: Company Name, Company Name: Company Name. In this way the domain shows up as belonging to the officer in charge of the organisation whomsooever that may be.

Every domain will ask you for a technical contact and an administrative contact but the name can be a psuedo-name as well such as

Admin Contact
Name: DNS Admin
Email: dns-admin@domain.com

Technical Contact
Name: DNS Technical
Email: dns-technical@domain.com

Or anything similar.

As for the second part of your question regarding requiring the approval of two authorized users for a change to be made this would have to be enforced through internal policies and procedures as most registrars do not have such a facility available and even larger companies where something like this would be a very important feature don't use it, instead implementing internal policies, procedures, and controls, and ensuring access to the tools to make those changes are restricted to very few authorised users.
