Anyone know any companies or know of anyone that had no direct experience but was hired as a product manager? I have a background in marketing and some technical skills but I have no product experience. I want to pivot from marketing/operations to a product manager role.

Anything is possible, just need to build your narrative. Identify the core skills you bring and build a narrative around how it transitions into the role you want. Be aware your competition will have more traditional experience so make sure you ask lots of questions whilst networking/interviewing so you can build a solid plan on why you’d be the most successful

Yea I knew a girl who got her masters and her first marketing role was an associate brand/product manager. Highly doubt someone fresh out of college could get a product management role but you’ve been in marketing for some time. It will definitely be tougher and this marker is very saturated with applicants.

I was! In fact, wasn’t looking for product role, but a recruiter reached out for a product marketing manager role. I had 8 years of marketing experience at the time. After talking to the hiring manager he really encouraged me to pursue the product manager role instead. I did and was hired for a medical technology company.

Very possible you’re just going to be up against candidates who already have the title. Start with freelance agencies and maybe pivot that way.
You have AE on your resume that will def help.
