I'd put in now for a position in society (9)
I believe the answer is:
president
'a position in society' is the definition.
(head of an organisation or society)
'i'd put in now' is the wordplay.
'put in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'now' becomes 'present' (I've seen this before).
'id' placed into 'present' is 'PRESIDENT'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for president that I've seen before include "Celebrant" , "Head, of a republic say" , "Trump, perhaps" , "top man" , "The elected head of a republic" .)
