Jane Save

Founder and Director

Get to Know Jane

Jane Save is not your typical HR professional. With over 15+ years of experience in senior HR and business leadership roles across global manufacturing and mining sectors, she saw firsthand how corporate red tape and rigid processes often got in the way of real progress. That frustration led her to create The Save Group.

Jane founded The Save Group to give small and medium-sized businesses a better way to manage their people. No fluff, no jargon, just practical HR support that helps businesses thrive. She partners with clients across all industries, including manufacturing, retail, hospitality, professional services and not-for-profits to improve culture, performance and compliance without the complexity.

Before launching The Save Group, Jane founded and ran an authentic Mexican restaurant in Melbourne for over four years, all while working full time in a corporate HR role. This experience gave her a rare, hands-on understanding of what it takes to run a small business and shaped her approach to helping other business owners succeed. She gets the pressure, the people challenges and the importance of clear, commercial advice that works.

In 2024, Jane was recognised as ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ by Wild Women in Business and a Finalist in the Australian Small Business Champion Awards. She holds four formal degrees in Business Management, Organisational Leadership, Psychology, and an MBA.

She believes HR should feel easy, make sense and drive real outcomes. That is exactly what she delivers.
