Yes feasible since you are familiar with budget management, timelines to go live ,approval processes ect. Consider Media Operations roles on the brand side , or starting out in creative PM since you could add value blending creative and media overlap (copywriting / keywords ect) and potentially be exposed to technical PMs depending on where you go. Note that unless your planning to become a high performing technical PMO , your compensation maybe better suited as a search expert or performance marketer.

Thank you! This is so helpful!

I’ve mentioned this on other comments as well- making this pivot may be easier within your current company if they are open to supporting it. You already know the people and processes so it’d be a smoother transition into a new role.
