Hello,
"She would like to tell Mr. Brown that she is willing to step up in Robert's place in the company."
What does "step up in" mean in the context above?
Thank you in advance. |

It means she would like to take over his job.
A more likely construction: ". . . that she is willing to take over / step into / succeed to Robert's position / place in the company."
