Magierowski was born in the Lower Silesian town of Bystrzyca Kłodzka and graduated from Hispanic Studies at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań (1994).[2] He wrote his thesis on Camilo José Cela.[3]

For over 20 years he worked as a reporter, editor and columnist, covering mostly international relations. He was deputy head of the economic desk in Gazeta Wyborcza,[3] head of the foreign affairs desk and the business section of the weekly Newsweek Polska, deputy editor-in-chief of Rzeczpospolita (2006–2011). He was also affiliated with Do Rzeczy.[4]

In October 2015 he started working for the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland as an expert on public diplomacy and, in December 2018, he was appointed as a press officer. From June 2017 to May 2018 he served as Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.[5] In June 2018 he became Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Poland to the State of Israel.[6] He ended his term in 2021. On 23 November 2021 he began his service as an ambassador to the United States.[7]

In July 2024, Magierowski was recalled from his post, but requested almost 1 million zł ($250000) in order to resign.[8]
