How have you asked?
Can you make a short list of 6–10 senior individuals in your company that you can get access to? These might be Director or VP types.
Ask them (in-person preferably) if they have any projects or assignments you might be able to assist them on. Tell them you're reaching out, looking for a new challenge and professional growth.
They will likely welcome your initiative and assertiveness. And you might be surprised what new opportunities this creates for you.
Ultimately, changing companies and moving away is easy. But the challenge of raising your visibility and getting career traction doesn't go away. You can get what you want, by helping others get what they want.
