How to change layout and template from module?

Question

When creating a theme I can override the Magento header by placing files under app/design/frontend/company/mytheme/Magento_Theme/layout/default.xml and app/design/frontend/company/mytheme/Magento_Theme/templates/header.phtml

This works as expected. But I want to move my custom header into a module as I'd like to use it on other themes.

If I place the same files under the module directory (instead of them) the header doesn't update:

app/design/frontend/company/module/Magento_Theme/layout/default.xml and app/design/frontend/company/module/Magento_Theme/templates/header.phtml

How can I make layout and template changes from within a module?
