It's tricky. As with any career (or just job-title) change you can try to manipulate your current / next role into including the key responsibilities of the new job title you're after -- in this case a PM -- and then try to leverage that work experience into a formal PM role. You may need to entertain taking a backwards or sideways step into a precursor role - local vernacular doubtless varies, but maybe explore Project Officer or Project Admin job titles. Or, of course, both. You could start reading up on PMBOK, PRINCE2, Agile/Scrum, etc -- obtaining accreditation on these tends to be expensive and a little tedious if you're not actively using the methodologies (in my experience).
