Position — prestige (6)
I believe the answer is:
status
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'position' is the first definition.
(one's status or standing)
'prestige' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for status that I've seen before include "Social rank" , "Position in society etc" , "Place in pecking-order" , "Rank or position in society" , "degree" .)
