In 1998-2006, he was deputy head of the Civil Service. In 2006-2008, he headed the ministry’s Department of Strategy and Foreign Policy Planning. From 2008 to 2012, he managed the National School of Public Administration (KSAP).

A political scientist, Czaputowicz has written more than 100 articles and books focusing on topics such as international relations, security and sovereignty, according to the foreign ministry.
