Which companies hire group product managers in California?

Strategy, roadmap planning, and stakeholder alignment work tends to translate well to remote settings, though some companies require GPMs to be on-site for quarterly planning or design sprints.
How can I get hired as a group product manager in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving laterally from a senior individual contributor role, such as senior software engineer, UX lead, or data scientist, into an associate or senior product manager position at a California technology company, then building toward GPM over time.
