fill out your role effectively at top management level
I think this is difficult.
make your contribution
live up to expectations
play your part effectively
It definitely means being one of the team, dynamic, but not stepping too far out of line...
I have just been turning it over for one of my own translations.
Nudansk Ordbog´s definition
begå sig opføre sig passende i en vis sammenhæng ¯ han forstår at begå sig blandt de fine · begå sig i livet
-- is not a lot of help, and I did not find anything I was really happy with in Gyldendal:
succeed
hold one´s own
get on in the world
-- so I am watching this question to see what others suggest!
My context was ´Du kan begå dig på højt niveau på engelsk´...
In a job advert.
I wrote ´You can conduct negotiations confidently and fluently in English´.
The usual clichés are almost obligatory in that context, but you need something smarter in yours!

to reach
For example,
...so you can reach higher leadership levels.
Note that the refleksiv is left out because it's generally not used as much in English

perform
Maybe the word "perform" touches boths strings: manners (like performing on the theater) and professionel capability?

This was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the source term. I think it's probably too simple/casual for your context though but wanted to put it out there anyway.
