Damijan is a tenured professor at the Ljubljana School of Economics and Business (a constituent faculty of the University of Ljubljana).
Damijan briefly served as minister without portfolio in the First Janša Cabinet. In his ministerial capacity, he was responsible for "coordinating and supervising the country's development strategy implementation". In 2018, Damijan was a contender for the Bank of Slovenia governor position. In October 2020, Damijan was put forth by four left-of-centre opposition parties as a prospective consensus prime ministerial candidate for a proposed technocratic government after Damijan and a group of prominent Slovene civil society figures proposed it to parliamentary parties as an alternative to the controversial Third Janša Government, a political project they termed The Coalition of the Constitutional Arch.
