Process JSON from an httpresponsemessage (C#)

I'm trying to process JSON data that I've retrieved from a Web API.

HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PostAsJsonAsync(
                   "api/my_report", report_request);

response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();

var content = await response.Content.ReadAsByteArrayAsync();
var options = new JsonSerializerOptions() { PropertyNameCaseInsensitive = true };
var result = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<ienumerable>(content, options);

When I inspect the result variable (above) in debug mode, I see that the entries are enumerated and have this general form;

[0] ValueKind = Object : "{"employee_code":"OU812","employee_name":"Alex","work_date":"2024-02-01","manager_name":"Eddie","manager_code":"5150","worked_hours":1,"division":"ROCK"}"

[1] ValueKind = Object : "{"employee_code":"5309","employee_name":"Jenny","work_date":"2024-02-01","manager_name":"Tutone","manager_code":"867","worked_hours":5,"division":"80S ROCK"}"
...etc

I need to now go through the enumerated list and get access to the elemental data - employee_code, employee_name, etc.

But so far all I can do is access each complete "object":

IEnumerator enumerator = result.GetEnumerator();

int n = 0;
while (enumerator.MoveNext() && n < 5)
{
   Console.WriteLine(enumerator.Current);
   n++;
}

Any help'd be appreciated,
Martin

What I have tried:

I've tried defining a class that matches the JSON data but I get an error that it cannot convert the HTTPResponseExample content to that class. (I can't reproduce the exact error now.)
