Hi all,
I recently finished a graduate program at Northeastern University and I'm interested in a slight career change. I'd love to get more involved in Product Management, but I'm having trouble finding an entry point to any open positions that I see online, and I don't see a whole lot of opportunity in this realm at my current organization. I believe that I have the foundation and skills for it, but I don't have the experience that many job posters are looking for. I have been in a customer facing role for much of my career, and I am currently the Senior Manager of our Customer Experience team. I have experience in launching and co-designing products for our internal staff and our customers and a little bit of UX experience as well. I have preformed plenty of customer and market research and I understand the voice of the customer, but it seems as though hiring managers are looking for people with more product experience. Does anyone have any insight, advice, or resources on how I can be successful in making this change?
