English term or phrase: based out of

hallo,

mein satz lautet: "xxx will be based out of the company’s headquarters in yyy."

kommt auf englisch im netz recht oft vor, wird dabei (fuer mich) aber auch nicht verstaendlicher.

mir ist daher nicht ganz klar, ob xxx vom firmenhauptsitz in yyy aus arbeiten wird oder ob er von außerhalb arbeiten wird oder ... ? :)

vielen dank im voraus!
angela

von ... aus

Explanation:
XXX wird vom Hauptsitz des Unternehmens in YYY aus tätig sein.

"based out of" heißt so viel wie "based at" (meiner Erfahrung nach eher im US-Sprachgebrauch anzutreffen)

Es kann gut sein, dass jccantrell und Daniela richtig liegen mit der Vermutung, dass mit diesem Ausdruck impliziert wird, dass der Betreffende recht häufig abwesend sein wird.
Ich erinnere mich jedenfalls gut an meine Zeit bei einem US-Unternehmen in London, wo dieser Ausdruck recht häufig benutzt wurde ("Our Vendor Manager is based out of our New York office.")
