Ranks in XCOM 2 are tied to XP earned in missions. More kills and completing mission objectives = more XP, which leads to promotions and new skills.
In XCOM 2, soldiers rank up by earning experience points (XP) from completing missions and killing enemies. Each rank up grants new abilities and stats increases, making your squad more powerful.
TL;DR: Kill aliens, complete missions, profit with higher ranks.
