1) Look on the bright side. You have a current job.
2) How do you present yourself? Are you easy to talk to, relaxed, comfortable, confident?
3) Are you well qualified in the areas you are targeting? I'm not just talking about the job function, product management. I'm talking about the specific ecosystem of the products (web, mobile, cloud, hardware devices, etc.) and which industry segment (medical, energy, transportation, etc.)
4) Related to that, if you do have a specific area of expertise, maybe try going after just that area.
5) Really hope this is not part of it, but do you live in a bigoted or (sometimes a different thing) a non-diverse part of the country? If yes, that could be one piece of the puzzle. Not with every interview, but some of them. For that case, short of moving somewhere else, I guess it's mostly out of your hands. Again hopefully it's not this.
6) You didn't mention if you ended up interviewing for the other role they suggested, and if not, why not. Seems like they are offering you a chance to get in the door, so maybe you're just blind to what is being offered. You didn't say what was wrong with the other roles.
In any case to find out if it's related to question 2 above, maybe you should do some practice interviews with local friends or better yet experienced coaches. Could be eye opening if they are willing to give you frank feedback.
