It is great that you have experience working collaboratively across multiple teams. This will be key when you do eventually get your PM interview. Here are some other things that will be helpful:
- Create a profile that highlights quantifiable, impactful actions you had on your previous work. This will show companies what you will be able to accomplish if you are hired.
- I would highly recommend taking a PM course to show interviewers that while you don't have any "experience" as a PM, you are taking the steps to learn the necessities of this role.
- As Kognate mentioned, reviewing books on PM interviews will be extremely useful.
- Go to networking events! Make sure to meet other PMs and get as much advice as you can. This may even be your ticket to an interview!
PM jobs definitely require experience, but if you are able to show that you have done relatable work that can translate well to a PM role, then you will certainly find a something.
I would suggest starting with the book "Cracking the Product Manager Interview: How to Land a Product Manager Job in Technology" by McDowell and Bavaro. It's pretty comprehensive.
