I’m in a rotational APM, and I’m essentially project managing and POing. I get no customer interface and do not drive intent as it is all very technical. Any advice to help shape this role into product management rather than project management?

I would simply try to start up a conversation with your manager. Have some idea in mind of how you might want to shape it towards the things you'd want to incorporate, and maybe push to be PM.

Yes I would work backwards towards what you're interested in long-term and then shape an ideal role for yourself now. You do want to be able to have a grasp of what you're responsible for either way.

Advice on applying to PM jobs with 1yr APM experience?

I’ve been working as an APM at my current company for 1yr, and have basically been doing the work of a full blown PM the entire time.

Has anyone ever hired an APM for a PM role or done it yourself? Any tips? Advice?
