+1 to the focus on "team" instead of "company". Inside a large company, the largest and most prestigious initiatives will be well-staffed with specialists, and a bunch of management types to coordinate them. But even if the company has a tech focus, you'll also find teams of network administrators, billing folks, supply chain people etc who are struggling to have their needs met. Typically their story is "we can't get out of our manual processes quickly enough", and they will be worried about a high manual error rate and/or scary headcount projections. These teams don't have a product manager or UX designer because (1) they don't need 40 hours/wk (2) those folks will gravitate towards public-facing products. They don't have a deep bench of backend specialists and frontend specialists. They also struggle to get support from centralized teams, because they're a lower priority or they just don't know how to ask. This creates opportunities to unblock the team by jumping in and helping with data/analytics, deployment, testing... all the stuff you might expect to be "cut a ticket to the team which owns this" in a large company.
