Just learn and work on your own things for a year or two, and then take those skills elsewhere. In my experience fighting bureaucracy will just drive you mad and you won't accomplish anywhere near as much as you hope you will. If this job isn't a field you're deeply passionate about, it's not a fight worth fighting. And if it is something you're deeply passionate about, try to learn everything you can about the industry while you're in that job, try to identify an opportunity, and then leave and try to start your own business filling that need, where you can sell your solution to that same bureaucracy (amongst others). It can be a lot easier to sell them a solution from outside than within.
