standing
The esteem, reputation, or social position that a person or organization enjoys in a group or in society.

Through her successful negotiations, she significantly improved her standing in the company.
'Standing' is a loanword from English and is used in German with the same meaning of esteem or reputation. It is an example of 'Denglisch' in professional and everyday life.
Als Experte hat er in der Fachwelt ein hohes Standing.
As an expert, he has high standing in the professional community.
Common combinations are 'ein gutes/hohes Standing haben' (to have good/high standing), 'sein Standing verbessern' (to improve one's standing), or 'sein Standing verlieren' (to lose one's standing). It describes a quality that one can have and change.
Durch den Skandal hat der Politiker sein Standing in der Bevölkerung verloren.
Because of the scandal, the politician lost his standing among the public.
To specify the area in which someone enjoys esteem, the preposition 'in' is used followed by the dative. For example: 'Standing im Team' (standing in the team), 'in der Firma' (in the company), or 'in der Politik' (in politics).
Sie hat sich über die Jahre ein festes Standing in der Partei erarbeitet.

reputation / call
'der Ruf' and 'das Standing' can both describe the esteem or reputation of a person or organization. 'der Ruf' is the more general German word and can be good or bad. It is about what others think of someone. 'das Standing' sounds more modern and is used especially in groups, companies, or public contexts. It often emphasizes position, influence, or recognition within a particular environment. They can be confused because both have to do with reputation. When it is generally about people's opinion of someone, 'Ruf' often fits better; when it is about position and recognition in a group, 'Standing' fits.
