Only you know what job it is you want, and only the employer knows if they will hire you. Certainly, some company out there will hire you, whether they meet your standards is the question.
My recommendation is to find a job that interests you and send a resume with an explanation that you're looking to make a change and hope they will let you know what more it takes, if anything, to get where you want to go. This can also be done less formally at meetups or online.
Having seen a few people make this transition, my guess is that you probably have abundant technical skills to take on anything, but will need to spend time understanding the work flow and business environment you'll be a part of. Just keep an open mind and go after what you want in your career.
