How do you politely turn down a job offer for a job you showed a lot of enthusiasm for (like where you networked your way to an interview, connected with hiring managers, had a referral, etc-you really have to do that for every role you are interested in these days IMO...) in a manner that best keeps the door open for you to apply to the company and be considered again in the future?

A recruiter I’ve worked with in the past reached out to me gauging my interest in a Director role.

I also have young kids and I want to find a good work/life balance, but my current job environment seems a bit unsteady and I don’t have great balance there either.
