What value can you add?

Sounds like you know exactly where the problem is at.
Since you are wondering about your own ROI, any company would worry about the same as well.

So what can you do to help your future employer? Can you help them to be more profitable by cutting cost or create new revenues?

Most companies now days only worry about how to make the investors happy. If you are capable to help them achieve that goal, I am sure you will not worry about finding a job anymore.
