My wife transitioned from chemist to marketing manager. The key insight was to break down her resume tasks into transferrable skills.

So "Wrote SOPs for spectrum analysis using CV480 machines" became "Analyzed processes.and wrote detailed plans to spread domain knowledge across team".

The most important thing is to decide as specifically as possible what new role you want to take on and angle everyrhing in that direction. You can't just be open to whoever will take you - make your transition seem inevitable.
