Sounds more like you want to do Product Management than Product Owner, the latter of which I believe is more about running the agile process.

I don’t know the secret sauce for breaking in. I’m sure that once you are in your background will be super helpful. What I have noticed is that:

- applying for jobs as a PM has a very low response rate

- if a recruiter contacts you, then your chances are much improved

- most PMs I know somehow transitioned into it via some lateral type move

With the above in mind, I’d suggest:

- update your LinkedIn profile to say that you are interested in PM roles, maybe that would help with keyword matches

- contact recruiters directly

- see if you can switch to a PM role internally
