Washington’s NFL team has hired former NBC Sports Washington anchor and reporter Julie Donaldson to be its vice president of media and one of its game day radio voices.

Donaldson, 42, becomes the highest-ranking woman at a franchise that last week announced an independent review of its culture following a Washington Post report in which 15 female former employees and two female reporters accused high-ranking team officials of sexual harassment. Among the men accused was Larry Michael, whom Donaldson is replacing in overseeing Washington’s broadcast operations.
