Here is the bug report for this. One option is to run with the --log-bin-trust-function-creators option turned on, which will allow you to create triggers without the SUPER privilege. This page explains what turning that option on means. Basically it has to do with whether or not MySQL thinks your triggers are deterministic (i.e. safe for replication). Your DBA may or may not be comfortable running in that mode. It's not ideal, but better than giving out SUPER...

UPDATE: The docs at the second link actually make it sound like you may be able to get around this by using row-based replication, or even mixed-mode replication. At least that would make it safe for replication. Whether or not you would still be required to have SUPER, I don't know, but it may be worth a try.
