Then you need to sell yourself directly to someone with hiring power, and skip the HR/phone screen/interview dance. It's possible: I've walked into some positions purely by my reputation. No resume, no interviews, just a conversation and a when-can-you-start. But that means working your network hard, networking more when that's tapped out, and there's no guarantee you'll find something any time soon. Work your LMS network to find people who will recommend you to their friends outside the LMS industry? Find an LMS startup that needs a senior generalist to be the "adult supervision?" Or, yeah, what chaz said: management. Own and run a product team. Product (not project) managers often come from all walks.
