Yes, its fairly common in smaller startups that can’t justify a full time data employee. But the work will likely be more like business analytics than data science: figure out how to measure retention and extract it from transaction logs, generate a weekly report that gets emailed to the CEO, that sort of thing. Not, like, PhD stuff which generally has a much slower payoff.
