Yep: the #1 rule about asking for an official increase in responsibility is to already be doing the job you're asking for. You can't 100% do that with management (there's a lot of official stuff involved with that role) but you can definitely do as much of the softer stuff as possible, and get people to know and trust you, which is the most important factor.
