I'm looking for a PM coach to help me speed run the entire product management role, from strategy, roadmapping, managing stakeholders, dev cycles, etc etc.
Where can I find one?
1. Silicon Valley Product Group Blog: They are thought leaders in the field and have a very strong opinion on how product management SHOULD be done. I do not agree with everything they recommend, but they are a great resource to help get up to speed with product management. https://www.svpg.com/articles/
2. Northwestern Kellogg Product Strategy Online Course: While expensive, this is an excellent and rigorous resource for learning product management basics. https://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/executive-education/ind...
I know this isn't quite what you were looking for, but I hope these are some useful resources to get you started. I'd love to hear what you ultimately end up doing and whether you found it valuable or not.
Genuinely curious how you or anyone else would see something like that working. Maybe I'll start a blog or something. I've never heard of this type of job in our industry. Like a personal trainer?

But you might not need it. You said you’ve worked at other companies around product before. Can you get a job as a PM right now? Product is done differently everywhere. To learn roadmaps, stakeholder management, and dev cycles you have to just experience it.
At it's core, product is the art of finding viable solutions that work for business and customers. Looking for win-win solutions that are actually buildable.
The details of the specific business, industry, customers and technical implementation are everything though.
This is a very PM thing to ask. I think you are going to be fine. Do nothing.
