As an agency producer with a focus on video, I would like to transition into project management, preferably in the technology sector. I also have a year of experience as an Operation Manager at another agency. Any advice as to how to get there? Currently, I am taking a Google course on Project Management, which is extremely similar to my current position.

IMO you’ve got to find an ally (hopefully your manager) who supports this transition and can help provide you with some opportunities that exist currently within your company or agency for you to run with! Learning from doing is key, at least for me. And you’re already in the same wheelhouse with your producer experience. Leverage that. Ask for opportunities. Make it known that you have this interest and show how it can be seen an asset for your company. Even a little experience or exposure can go a long way, especially when you already are a producer. Then when you’re ready, leverage that for a new opportunity in your tech sector job!
