On GTA IV, Karen was coerced by Agent ULP to follow and track Niko. On GTA V, she is a high level IAA agent as seen on the mission "Three's Company".
Is it ever explained how did she end up in the IAA?

Best Answer
While it is explicitly never explained in game, United Liberty Paper is a front for the International Affairs Agency, so one reasonably can assume that she was Karen was promoted to her current role during the five years between the two games.
Karen's role as a government agent also explains her continued activities in both GTA V story and GTA Online where she assists in the Humane Labs raid and has knowledge of the Fleeca Bank heist.
From ULP's Wikia page proving it's an IIA front:
