I work as a BDR/SDR for a marketing SaaS company and I have about 5 years of sales experience under my belt. My company is fairly new and has been changing a lot. The employee turnover is insane right now and it’s making me worried that I might get laid off eventually.
I’m trying to find a way to get out of sales and into something like product management, sales enablement, or sales/revenue ops. Is there a way in to these roles with my prior experience? If so, how would to talk to it?

I have a friend who moved from Partner Business Manager to Renewal Specialist. It’s a smaller company than where she used to work (VMware) so they didn’t really mind she had never done it. It is possible

This is 100% possible. One of the main things sales ops and enablement teams look for is sales experience. It's usually easier to transition roles in house, but not required so I'd try that avenue unless you hate your current role. Also start joining the Sales Enablement Society and Customer Success meetups, etc. Have you done any work you can point to that would be related to either area? For example training, process improvement, order management, etc.? If not, start volunteering to support those areas at work and network with the leadership.
