Generally a TPM (technical program manager) has more of a schedule / timeline focus to help people know what is happening when. Whereas the PM (product manager) role defines the vision while adjusting for user and business needs.
If you want to be a product manager I’d probably interview for that role directly as TPM is not always in the same org. Hope that helps and good luck!
