In December 1991 he became director of the Voivodeship Office and from January 1993 to January 1998 Jerzy Miller was Deputy Voivodeship of the Cracow Voivodeship. In February 1998 he became Undersecretary ( podsekretarz ) in the Polish Ministry of Finance, later he became State Secretary , and thus also Deputy Minister of Finance, and remained so until July 2000. During this time, he was also the agent for the decentralization of public finances in Jerzy Buzek's government .

From 2004 to 2006 Jerzy Miller was President of the Polish Health Fund ( Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia , NFZ). For his dismissal from the position of head of the health fund, the ruling party Prawo i Sprawiedliwość ( Law and Justice ) changed the relevant law, which then made it possible for him to be dismissed by the prime minister instead of by the council of the health fund. From December 2006 he was deputy mayor of Warsaw. From November 29, 2007 to October 14, 2009 he was voivode of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship with the support of the Platforma Obywatelska ( Civic Platform ) .
