agree  Ruth Ramsey: Yes, I think it's important to include "succession". I think it's more than just reporting to someone senior.

staff member to succeed


Explanation:
I read cuadro as "cadre," that is personnel. "Cadre" can refer to an entire group, or to a member of the group. "was the staff member to succeed the manager"

From Merriam-Webster's:
a nucleus or core group especially of trained personnel able to assume control and to train others; broadly : a group of people having some unifying relationship <a cadre of lawyers>
3 : a cell of indoctrinated leaders active in promoting the interests of a revolutionary party
4 : a member of a cadre

disagree  philgoddard: No, it says "era cuadro", not "era en el cuadro". It's a person, not a piece of paper.

  -> I think you're reading very literally... my answer doesn't imply it's the actual chart... it means the guy falls within that chart.... subtleties of language...

I think Maru's suggestion is on the right lines, but this is a more idiomatic way of saying it in English.
